Multigenerational Workplaces Training Course
Managing the Five-Generation Workforce
Time: 0930 - 1330
Cost: £275 +VAT per attendee
Location: Online
Date: Thursday 4th December
Half-day workshop
In today's unprecedented workplace, five distinct generations work side-by-side, each bringing unique perspectives, work styles, and expectations. Despite HR's best efforts, workplace stereotypes persist - Gen Z perceived as work-shy, Boomers labelled as technophobes, and post-pandemic fragmentation creating further divisions.
This practical half-day workshop moves beyond stereotypes to provide employers with evidence-based tools and strategies to understand, manage and leverage the strengths of a multigenerational workforce. Through interactive exercises, real-world scenarios and expert guidance, delegates will learn to create cohesive, productive teams that harness generational diversity as a competitive advantage.
By the end of this workshop, delegates will be able to:
Identify the key characteristics and workplace expectations of each generation without relying on stereotypes Implement tailored communication strategies that resonate across generational lines Design mentoring and training programmes that accommodate different generational learning preferences Resolve generational conflict through understanding rather than assumption Create inclusive policies that support all generations while maintaining operational effectiveness Develop action plans to improve team cohesion and reduce generational friction
