Develop More Productive Teams
In today's workforce, there are five distinct generations with varying experiences, perspectives, and work styles. From recent graduates who are just starting their careers to individuals who have been working for over 50 years and are preparing to retire. Each generation brings its unique strengths and challenges to the table.
As a supervisor, it's crucial to take measures that ensure these individuals work together seamlessly, despite their differences.
While many courses on generational management focus primarily on Millennials and Gen Z, this program takes a comprehensive approach. It covers the characteristics of each generation currently present in the workplace, the challenges they face, and the best practices for managing them effectively as a collective whole. By participating in this course, you'll gain the necessary tools to build a cohesive and productive team that thrives in today's multi-generational workforce.
This program will provide supervisors with:
- An enhanced understanding and appreciation for their workforce.
- Motivation and engagement: Understand what motivates different generations and implement strategies to create a more engaging and productive work environment for all.
- Retention and talent development: Equip yourself with the knowledge and skills to attract, retain, and develop talent across generations.
- Innovation and problem-solving: Leverage the diverse perspectives and skills of different generations to drive innovation and solve problems more effectively.
Who should attend
Managers, supervisors, project managers, team leaders, business owners, aspiring managers and supervisors, and anyone who manages the work of others.
