Boomers are still at work but so are workers of their children's generation as well as their grandchildren's. How can they possibly work together? How is an organization to engage all the generations, succeed with younger workers, and connect across differences? This series provides effective management and communication advice that can help bridge these gaps from all directions. The "Generations and Work Series" is the culmination of 25 years of research by Claire Raines, co-author of "Generations at Work" and seven other books about the generations, supported by compelling real-world inquiry from award-winning producer Tarek Chacra. Workplace and on-the-street interviews, vignettes, and expert commentaries address such topics as coaching, work processes, technology, feedback, change, productivity, and sales. Not just another plug-and-play video, "Generations and Work" engages viewers in a fresh new way by involving them in 15 screening activities. Facilitator Joe Tabano interacts directly with viewers, prompting them to answer questions, join in conversations, and participate in learning activities where they apply what they have learned to their own work situations. At its heart, "Generations and Work" is about accepting people who are different and interacting with them in ways that increase satisfaction and productivity.
Key Points:
o Trying to change someone else's perspective on work is a losing battle; instead, find ways to capitalize on their strengths and assets.
o Masterful communicators connect with people from different generations by adapting to their preferences.
o It's always a good idea to ask yourself, "How does this other person want to be treated?"
o Engaged employees make all the difference, but employee engagement isn't one-size-fits all. It's important to understand what engages people from each of the generations.
o A work environment that supports all the generations responds to diversity, builds on strengths, offers options, develops people's understanding of differences, and trains people to communicate effectively across generations.
