Legal boss leads discussion on five-generation workforces

Sarah Walker-Smith, CEO of leading law firm Shakespeare Martineau, will be hosting an expert panel discussing leadership best practice and busting myths about motivating a five-generation workforce.

Ninder Johal, CEO of Nachural Group and Henrietta Brealey, CEO of Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce will be joining Sarah in a live webinar on Tuesday 15 June at 4pm to discuss whether it is true that millennials need constant praise and feedback and that boomers will be resistant to change, or whether this is just a stereotype.

Sarah (pictured) said: “As the life expectancy and retirement age increases, so does the span of ages in the workplace. With greater technology and fast-paced lives it 's thought that priorities, mind set and culture differences between generations are shifting quicker than ever.

“We 've also seen surprising reactions for different age groups during the pandemic, in particular the struggles some younger people have faced.

“While we expected Gen Z and Millennials to quickly adapt to the technology of home working, we hadn 't anticipated the impact of less face-to-face mentoring time early on in their career, or the impact crowded house shares, or lack of garden space may have had on the mental health of some younger people. ”
