Communicating and Navigating the Five Generations of the University: Multi-generational Workplace
December 15, 2016 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Presenter: Calvin L. Smith Jr.
In most workplaces, having multiple generations in the workplace is common place. Typically, the emerging generation is fresh on the scene, the middle generation that has moved into middle management, and the C-level executives that have been able to navigate their career for 30+ years. Typical workplaces are no different, with Millennials, Gen Xers, and Baby Boomers currently occupying those spaces, all shaped by the events of their time. The university setting poses some unique challenges. Not only are those three generations coexisting but we must add a forth the Silent (Veterans) generation and to add to the complexity a quickly emerging, post Millennial, fifth generation known as Generation Z. There could quite possible be five generations in the university setting all coexisting under one roof! This program will enable participants to understand those differences and navigate them more effectively in the university setting.
