Are Generational Gaps holding your Business back?
Part of the Business Growth Studio
Your most experienced employee may hold decades of knowledge.
Your newest recruit may see an opportunity everyone else has missed.
But are they learning from one another?
With several generations now working side-by-side, businesses have access to an extraordinary mix of experience, energy, ideas and skills. Yet differences in communication, leadership expectations, career ambitions and ways of working can easily become a source of frustration rather than strength.
This interactive Business Growth Studio will explore what it really takes to build a workplace where people of every generation can contribute, develop and succeed.
Featuring insight from Cookes Furniture, Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School, a Future Faces representative and an employer actively developing young talent, the session will bring together perspectives from across the working journey.
Expect frank discussion, practical examples and fresh thinking on:
- Attracting talent at different career stages
- Understanding what makes people stay
- Communicating across generations
- Challenging outdated assumptions
- Transferring knowledge before it is lost
- Using mentoring and reverse mentoring
- Building a workforce ready for the future
You will then join other business leaders for a fast-paced challenge exploring how organisations can better attract, engage, develop, retain and futureproof their people.
Every delegate will leave with a personalised Multigenerational Workforce Action Plan, including an immediate step to take back into their business.
