Generational
Diversity
Working With Cross-Generational
Teams
This is the first time in America’s history

side in the workplace. What an amazing experience
for everyone in today’s workforce….or
is it? Cross-generational teams face many challenges.
This can affect time management, conflict management,
and overall productivity. How do managers and
staff foster a good working relationship between
generations? One size does not fit all when working
across generations.

By the end of this workshop, participants
will be able to:
• Define each of the four generations and
their workplace characteristics
• Identify each generation's value system
and how this affects their behavior in the workplace

and how they define success

and how to minimize it
• Appreciate and gain respect for what is
important to each generation
