If the answer is 'yes' to any of the above, this workshop is for you. More and more, the challenges of having four generations working alongside each other are becoming apparent. Employees in their 20s and early 30s appear disengaged, lacking in loyalty and commitment, whilst their Baby Boomer managers (those born between 1946 and 1964) continue to be mystified and frustrated by the needs of this pandering generation. Communication breaks down, talent you've invested in ups and leaves, threatening the productivity and efficiency of the organisation. So, what do you do?
By attending this workshop, you will gain expert knowledge (drawn from research and Alice's experiences) of what employees in their 20s and early 30s (often referred to as Quarter-Lifers, Millennials or Generation Y) really need and want from you as their manager or HR/Training Department. Only by understanding these needs can you begin to truly utilise and develop the distinctive talents of your younger colleagues. You will learn new solutions and approaches to manage and retain this generation more effectively, and will be given the opportunity to share the specific challenges you are facing with other like-minded professionals. This is a great way to then share tips and discuss what solutions have worked for others in the past.
Managers and HR/L&D/Training Departments (or consultants working with them) looking to improve:
- Management skills
- Staff development
- Talent management
- Staff retention
- Employee engagement, performance and job satisfaction
