Event Description:
May DEI Workshop: Five Generational Workforce
Starting (s) Track
For the first time in history there are five generations working alongside one another. The challenge in this multi-generational workplace is navigating how to ensure the environment is inclusive and productive, instead of burdensome or stressful. If leveraged effectively, the opportunities for discovery and growth in our current workplace climate are vast. In this workshop we will start by understanding the important elements of the different generations and unpacking how they emerge in the workplace. Lastly, we will discuss strategies to help navigate the unique opportunities that exist in our current workplace climate.
Presented by Herb Alexander, Chief Diversity Officer at Cayuga Health System.
