Discussions around generational differences can too often feel more focused on competition than collaboration. However, despite their differing cultures and points of view, each generation offers its own unique benefits to society, and it is more vital than ever that those of different generations today find common ground.

For the first time in history, there are five generations in the workplace. While it is easy to gripe and complain about generational differences (“Ugh, Millennials.” “I don’t know how Gen Z-ers get by.” “That’s such a Boomer thing to say.”), these kinds of stereotypes overlook the gifts and benefits that each generation brings. They can also lead to age discrimination that is both unproductive and damaging to inclusive environments and collaboration.

Join us for a three-part webinar series to gain an objective overview of the differences and similarities that exist across generations. You’ll learn practical strategies for working more effectively with individuals in a variety of contexts.

This webinar series consists of three separate trainings, each 60 minutes apiece:

• The first, “World War Z? The Impact of Multiple Generations on Campus,” will take place on August 15, 2023 and will provide a general overview of the generations currently in the workforce: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Xennials, Millennials, and Generation Z.
• The second, “Have It Your Way (Or Not): Customer Service Across Generations,” will take place on September 11, 2023 and will highlight the differences in customer service expectations based on generation.
• The third, “Supervising Multigenerational Teams: Building Understanding to Support Success,” will take place on October 18, 2023. Here, we will explore ways to motivate and communicate across generations on your team.

You may choose to attend one or all of these sessions live or to view the on-demand recordings. Each session is designed to offer practical information to support the ongoing development of faculty and staff working in intergenerational environments.
