WEBINAR: Promoting Age Inclusion in the New Millennium  - NEW DATE!

by Tamara Thorpe, The Millennials Mentor

June 11, 2019 - 11 am-12:30 pm (ET) - NEW DATE!

Economic shifts in the new millennium have made the multi-generational workforce a reality. For the first time, organizations have up to four, and in some cases five, generations in the workplace; Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen Z. Researchers predict that by 2020 more than half of the entire global workforce will be made up of Millennials and Gen Z’s.  It is also reported that the former generations will remain the largest segment of the overall population and many will remain in the workforce.  

These generational trends have disrupted the status quo and workplace cultures, increasing polarization between generational cohorts. This is a unique opportunity for interculturalists to help organizations develop the attitudes, skills, and knowledge they need to bridge these generational differences. As intercultural practitioners, we can contribute our vast expertise with difference to foster workplace cultures that draw on the strengths of all generations. Age inclusion isn’t just about recruiting, retaining, and engaging Millennials, but managing talent of all ages and leveraging the diversity of their experience and expertise. What we already know about intercultural competence can help depolarize generations and help multi-generational teams negotiate their differences and move towards a more prosperous future.

This interactive workshop will explore the intersectionality of intercultural competence and intergenerational understanding.  The audience will explore generational differences and how intercultural competence can be applied to navigate and negotiate those differences.
