"Embracing and Leveraging Generational Diversity"

Forty percent of Baby Boomers say they are seeking job opportunities in other organizations or looking for a major career change. More than 30 percent of Generation Xers would rather go to the dentist than attend their company's orientation program. Retention among Millennials (the youngest generation in the workforce) is an increasing concern among U.S. employers. Facing the reality of a changing demographic – both for your employees as well as your customers - is key to sustaining your competitive advantages.

 But what does “Generational Diversity” really mean to your business?

 In this interactive presentation, Annika will discuss the specific challenges and opportunities that modern companies face regarding generational demographic shifts in workplaces and among customers. We will move beyond the hype of popular media to focus on the business imperative behind generational diversity. Key issues covered include:

• Bottom-line impact of changing generations on today’s businesses
• Generational definitions and markers that shaped each generation
• A gap analysis of what the hourglass of labor supply shortages means to individual companies
• Recruitment and retention tips across the generations
• Strategies for succession planning, inter-generational collaboration and knowledge transfer
