Saturday General Session Keynote
Leveraging a Multi-Generational Workforce
Jamie Belinne
With at least four generational groups in most workplaces, professional interactions have never been more confusing nor had more potential than right now. The “Matures” complained about the Baby Boomers, who complained about Gen X, who complained about Millennials, and now Gen Z is on the scene. This newest generation in the workforce could use technology before they could speak, and their attitudes toward communication, work, and diversity are unlike those of any previous generation. In this dynamic and entertaining session, Jamie Belinne pulls together her nearly 15 years of research and more than 30 years of organizational leadership to explore why each generation is different and valuable, with a special emphasis on empowering, including, retaining, and developing all generations.
Join us for our General Session and learn to:
- Recognize and appreciate the contextual factors that shaped different generations’ attitudes and behaviors
- Reframe and refute myths and misunderstandings about other generations
- Apply specific strategies to minimize misunderstandings and mistakes when teaching or delegating new tasks
- Ask employees three questions to minimize conflict and frustration while increasing retention and productivity
