HR Thursdays ~ Navigating Generational Differences
Session 3: Navigating Generational Differences:
There are five generations co-existing in today's workplace. You may have noticed differences in the way people of different generations seem to see the world through a different colored lens than you do. Generational differences are marked by the values, desires, goals, interests, and lifestyle choices that research finds most prevalent within a generation of people. Different from demographics, these activities, interests, and opinions are called psychographics. This session begins by helping you identify the way life experiences shared by each generation influence a generation's psychographics. After working with people of your own ''ilk'' to define the common life influencers, you will learn what makes other generations think and act differently - what influences their behaviors. Armed with an understanding of why generational differences exist, you will then be introduced to ways you can work more effectively with those who are not part of your generation. This session requires participants to do some preliminary work in the Brightspace course prior to the virtual Zoom (or live) session.
