Bridging Generational Gap
|
|
|
Explore
the differences that variances in age bring to the work
place and how to most effectively manage the different
generations. With the explosion of Generational Y entering
the work force, special considerations and awareness must
be in place to ensure a productive working relationship.
The demographics of our workplaces are changing dramatically.
Because of these changes, now more than ever managers
need to effectively manage staff who are at different
stages of their lives. Understanding the differences that
variances in age bring to the work place helps us to more
successfully manage and/or interact with different age
groups.
The main aims of this program are to:
| • |
Raise awareness
of the behavioural characteristics for each group |
| • |
Identify your relating styles
|
| • |
Present a working model that
can be used to appropriately adapt or flex your
relating style |
| • |
Provide a mechanism through
which age related differences can be aired and discussed |
The four styles are supporting, building, empowering and
steering. The program also defines the patterns or styles
of thinking and behaviour that generally relate to the
four age groups of the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50-plus. Applying
this tool with a group provides a mechanism through which
age-related differences could be openly aired and addressed.
