Five Generations in the Workplace: New Realities and Strategies

Sindy Martin

Concurrent Session: MO 8, Monday, October 24, 2:00-3:30PM

Today we have 5 generations and their multiple cultures in the world of business. As consultants, understanding and appreciating generations’ cultural impact on organizations is essential to successful engagements. Our ability to communicate with multi-generations can eliminate major issues and misunderstandings for us both professionally and personally. Sindy will describe each generation’s perceptions and priorities and the cultures within them. She’ll illustrate how generational communication styles affect business and suggest ways to encourage diverse working styles across all generations. We all need to be aware of, and facilitate our clients to better understand that each generation has distinct attitudes, behaviors, expectations, habits and motivational buttons…and Sindy will show us how!
