Generations in the Workplace

Join us on May 14th as we explore creating an inclusive, high-performance culture where every generation feels welcome.

We all know culture matters. In fact, according to a LinkedIn survey, Gen Z isn’t looking for the largest paycheck but instead desires a strong relationships with coworkers, advancement opportunities, and a healthy culture. How are you preparing your workplace to be even more appealing to those you are working so hard to recruit?

Is your culture friendly to ALL? Is it really inclusive?
You can measure, understand the current state and make adjustments!

Is your workplace enabling the highest level of performance?
Connect your culture to strategy and unite your organization to accelerate results.

But what is culture?

Culture is “the way we are EXPECTED to do things around here.”

Have you noticed that each generation has different beliefs about the “way we are expected to do things”? The differing expectations of each generation can create conflict, confusion and frustration in the workplace.

While there is a lot of focus on the friction between generations, we believe that each has unique gifts to offer. These gifts are not always recognized, and in some cases, they come in unique “packages” and are ignored or discarded! This workshop will take you on a Culture Journey Learning Experience that provides a fresh perspective on multiple generations in your organization, offering tips for maximizing the gifts each generation brings and creating an inclusive culture.

Why Attend:

  • Get the facts on generational bias and how it’s detrimental to workplace productivity

  • Explore the gifts of each generation and how to create a generation-friendly workplace

  • Understand how to intentionally shape your culture to be more inclusive across the generations

Drawing from the insights of 3 experts in the areas of culture, change and generational leadership, this thought-provoking session will provide you with fresh insights, applicable ideas and actionable steps to create an inclusive culture that keeps your workforce engaged and excited to be a part of the team!

What is the Culture Journey Learning Experience?

Organizational culture and its impact on individuals, organizations, and even society are constant subjects of interest. Culture is finally a part of leadership team discussions at most organizations. Unfortunately, few truly understand it despite most CEOs reporting culture as being critical to business success.

A new learning approach is needed to help leaders and change agents understand the complexities of culture, leadership, and the connection to performance improvement in an accelerated environment. The Culture Journey Learning Experience was recently created to combine peer learning with targeted education based on facts and fundamentals about culture, climate, and change management that are not widely understood. Human Synergistics and Root collaborated to develop this experience, facilitated in tables of 6 to 10 with a visual Root Learning Map®, reflection questions, scenarios, and a workbook.

Culture Journey Learning Experience Goals and Content:

  • Share key learnings, experiences, and culture-related concepts to understand and appreciate the complexity and unique culture perspectives of peers and experts.

  • Build a common language for understanding the layers of culture.

  • Discover how culture evolves and identify paths that increase the likelihood of shared learning and positive results with any major change effort.

  • Identify causal factors (systems, structures, etc.) that are part of the work climate and understand how they reinforce the current culture and may be levers for change in improvement plans.

  • Apply learnings at each step of the workshop to your own organization or organizations with which you work.

  • Receive a workbook with discussion and reflection questions so you can apply key workshop learnings with colleagues at your organization after the event.

Join us on May 14th to learn how to overcome generational bias, build an inclusive culture and sustainably improve YOUR results.
