"No, you can't have dual 27 inch monitors" - Managing Millennials and the Multigenerational Workforce

Millennials are often seen as entitled, self-absorbed, hard to manage and demanding. They are also flexible, tech-savvy, motivated and want to make the world a better place. Learning how to manage this new group of employees as part of a dynamic multigenerational workforce is important for team success. This entertaining presentation will offer insights and strategies that Diocesan IT Directors and Administrators can use to deal with the challenges posed by the rapidly changing workforce.

HOW SSA CAN HELP YOU BRIDGE THE GENERATIONAL GAP

Bridging the Gap of the Multi-Generational Workforce

SSA has a long and rich history of helping clients overcome diversity obstacles in the workplace, including the struggles people of different generations experience when operating in the same work environment.  SSA has extensive experience providing training to companies in a variety of industries to enable them to recognize and embrace the differences between themselves and others.  Among the four working generations in the workforce today (Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z, and Millennials), there exists differences but also many similarities that are often overlooked.  SSA has assisted executives and managers/supervisors to discard fiction and myths about these generations and enable them to create and maintain a solid and productive multi-generational workplace.
