We are entering a new age of work - never before have we had such a cross generational workforce. This is due to many things such as retirement ages being pushed back because we are living longer. There’s also better access to education, which means we have more school leavers and graduates entering organisations and wanting to climb the career ladder as quickly as they possibly can. Because of these factors, the chances are you are managing a wide range of ages and experiences which need different leadership styles. These interactive and engaging training course materials have been designed to help you manage a cross generational team with confidence and ease. They review the myths and facts for each generation (and what that means for managers) as well as exploring how the learners can make sure they get the very best out of cross generational teams.
What you'll cover
- Articulate the different generations in the workplace, and differentiate what is a myth about that generation, and what is a fact
- Explore generational tension, and how different cognitive biases come into play
- Understand how life stages may impact different generations, in particular around priorities for different age groups as well as technological advances
- Demonstrate ways of working cross generationally to get the best out of people
- Identify the skills and tactics for managing team members that might have more experience than them
