Generations at work. Understand the differences and be a better team.

It’s the first time in history we have four different generations at the workforce: babyboomers, generation X, millenials and generation Z. It’s important to understand the unique perspectives and experiences each brings to the table. The next decade will see a shift in generational power, as older generations begin to retire and younger ones take on leadership roles. By 2025 85% of our workforce will exist of generation millennials and generation Z. This will have a significant impact on our work culture and the way we approach work. In this talk Tom will focus on the differences between the generations, how we can navigate this generation shift and learn to work effectively across generations.

Topics: Generations, recruitment, retention, needs and values, health, privacy, entrepreneurship, dreams.
