One of the key challenges faced by leaders, managers and HR professionals is not adopting a one-size-fits-all approach to engaging and growing employees. While it’s important to recognize the differences between the generations — how or where they work, what they expect or how they like to be recognized — the gaps aren’t as significant as one would think.
Join this informative session to discuss:
- The differences in our workforce make-up
- Common misperceptions of employee engagement
- How to create a culture that brings out the uniqueness in each generation

The state of the workplace – with a focus on teams and new employee expectations – requires a total reimagining of the way organizations develop their people. The emphasis is on the employee experience with a shift away from bureaucracy toward more transparency and trust.

Specifically, we’ll examine:
- How the shift to team-based work is changing how we motivate and develop people
- Why positivity is so essential to building a culture of trust and openness to all feedback
