We now have five generations in the workplace: Baby Boomers, Generation X, Pragmatists, Generation Y, and Generation Z. More than ever before. Each generation has its own qualities, drivers, and perspective on work. This is not always easy. The generation gap can lead to misunderstandings and friction. Older generations are results-oriented, accustomed to hierarchy, and highly loyal. Younger generations tend to think more in terms of flexible career paths. Freedom, personal development, and impact are highly valued. Mind the Gap! The gap may be experienced as a challenge, but it is in fact an opportunity. During her presentation, Kim Jansen takes us into the world of the five generations in the workplace. Which generations and generational differences are we dealing with? How can we strengthen one another and build connections? If I take a critical look at myself, what can I do to make better use of the other generations around me? Synergistic collaboration between generations creates energy for everyone. Close the Gap!
Working with so many generations in the workplace is a major challenge. Each generation has different talents, pitfalls, and needs. In addition, there is the dynamic between generations. How can organizations manage this effectively? How can they prevent generational conflicts and create generational inclusivity? During this session, Kim Jansen explores the possibilities of applying generational management within an organization. She explains how to strengthen and connect generations and how to leverage generational diversity to create an inclusive, energetic, and future-proof organization.
Kim translates the topic into practice. What concrete steps can be taken? Which interventions are possible? Kim shares examples, facts and figures, as well as best and worst practices. The audience is actively involved and encouraged to think about how this can be applied within their own organization. How can we implement generational management in our organization in concrete terms? In addition to insights, practical tools and tips are shared. What can you do differently tomorrow? This enables participants to get started immediately after the session.
We are increasingly working with multiple generations alongside one another. A trend that brings considerable challenges, particularly for managers. How do you manage such a diverse group? How do you bring out the best in everyone? How do you keep everyone sustainably employable? Many managers regularly struggle with these questions and want to better understand how to empower different generations. Kim Jansen provides highly practical tools and translates them directly into practice. Participants reflect on the steps they can take to manage and motivate all generations in the workplace more effectively, as well as how to foster synergy between generations. “The knowledge, influence, and experience of older generations, combined with the fresh perspective, innovation, and creativity of younger generations, creates renewal and energy at work.”
