GEN X’ERS, MILLENNIALS, and IGENS, OH MY! Lead your multi-generational workforce with a culture of engagement
Presenter: Dr. Anthony Baffo, DSL
Session Description: Many organizations today have an employee base that spans four generations: Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials (Gen Y), and now Generation Z or the IGEN. While some would look at this as a perfect storm of generation gaps, savvy managers view it as a unique opportunity to enhance productivity. Engaged managers who create a respectful and open-minded environment will experience a more vibrant workplace and can expect to see better results and higher customer or patient experience outcomes.
In this session, participants can expect to:
- Tailor your leadership style, communication, feedback, rewards, and staff development techniques with individual’s frame of reference
- Disregard generational stereotypes
- Develop a multi-generational culture of engagement
