The Multi Generational Workforce- MONERE-Wednesday 11th August 2021-9:30am-11am
Date: Wednesday 11th August 2021
Time: 9:30 am - 11:00 am
The Multi Generational Workforce
For the first time in history 5 generations are working side by side:
Silent Traditionalists- pre 1943
Baby Boomers- 1944-1960
Gen X- 1961-1980
Millenials- 1981-1995
GenZ- 1996-Present
Whether this multi generational workplace feels happy and productive or challenging and stressful is in large part up to you. For leaders managing multiple generations in the workplace is not as easy as it sounds. Each defined generation has different expectations, communication styles and perspectives.
Nevertheless adopting a management strategy that addresses the distinctive characteristics of different generations in the workplace can allow employers to harness the respective strengths of their workforce. In this workshop managers will learn how to utilise different generational profiles to optimise performance and enable a motivated workforce.
Topics covered:
- Understanding the profiles of the five main workforce generations.
- Working with, motivating and leading a multi generational workforce.
- Understanding leadership styles to suit each generation.
- Understand how to access generational strengths, while providing a flexible leadership style to retain your workforce.
This course will be delivered by Monere Development Services.

FEEDBACK
“This is a great course, regardless of the amount of experience you have with public speaking. The groups are small which makes it a more personal and enjoyable experience. I was thoroughly engaged for the entire day which speaks for itself. You begin by presenting for three minutes and then receive feedback from the group, before going through all Gerry’s tips. The day ends with an opportunity to put into practice anything new that you have learned. This is a really useful and practical workshop and a must-do for anybody in business, so much so that several of my colleagues will be attending in the coming months! “ John Brennan, Managing Director, ORS
