The workplace can present managers with the challenge of leading different generations effectively. As older workers delay retiring and younger workers are entering the workforce, the work environment has become a patchwork of varying perspectives and experiences, all valuable to say the least.
The Multigenerational Workforce workshop to be held from 1- 5 p.m. March 5 in the Rhododendron Room at the Mountainlair will help participants understand the various generations present at work. Both the young and older worker have ideas and suggestions to offer, which will help the organization thrive in the marketplace. For managers, learning how to deal with the generation gaps at work will help you become a better leader.
