Emerging Leaders Program: Part 1
Closing the Generational Gap

Tuesday, October 29, 10:30 AM – 11:15 AM

For the first time in history, there are four or more generations in the workplace – whose differences can create frustration, tension and breakdowns in communication. Walk away from this session understanding the general characteristics of each generation, why these characteristics are as they are, and how they show up at work. Discover techniques for communicating more effectively between generations and embrace generational diversity as an organizational strength.
