Generations in the Workplace & Promoting Inclusion - SDEA

Location

The current business environment includes five different generations working toward shared goals. But different generations have varying outlooks on important organizational values like work ethic, appropriate communication, business attire, and interpersonal relationships. As the leader, managers of multi-generational workforces need to be able to adapt their own communication style and act as a liaison between members of the team.

Tapping into the potential of a multi-generation workforce will help create a more productive, collaborative, and innovative work environment. In this workshop we will specify key generational characteristics and formulate useful plans for facilitating optimal team cohesion.

Inclusion is the process of creating a working culture and environment that recognizes, appreciates, and effectively utilizes the talents, skills, and perspectives of every employee; uses employee skills to achieve the agency's objectives and mission; connects each employee to the organization; and encourages the appreciation of differences.
 
This class will address not just the importance of inclusion but how all employees, at every level can contribute.  We will talk about privilege, allyship, and how to do the work.
