Spring, 2015 marked a seismic shift in the American workplace. Millennials overtook the Boomers as the largest percentage of the workforce. Not by much; but it is just the beginning. By 2025, Millennials will make-up nearly
75% of the workplace! The question is, what are we doing now to prepare this generation of soon-to-be leaders when only 28% of them currently report feeling fully utilized? Ten years is a short span of time to move the needle on the Millennials. But the future of business depends on what we all do now.
As a result of this class, business savvy HR professionals will be better able to:
- Create a strategic training & development plan that aligns business needs and future workforce realities/demographics.
- Design and develop training interventions that meet future business needs while addressing the learning characteristics of the Millennials.
- Measure and prove results.
Why does Judith Tavano think she knows something about generational diversity, and why does she want to share it with you? Simple: she has been studying generational diversity for over a decade and believes that the more we know about our generation, and the generations preceding and/or are following us – the better our working relationships, our personal relationships and our overall communications activities will be. Generational diversity affects us all – and all we do. It’s no longer a one- size- fits-all world. Our young colleagues, children, and grandchildren have grown up in worlds totally different from our own, and their expectations of life have been formed accordingly. They tell us those expectations every day through their behavior. We just need to understand what we are seeing to know how to work with them, guide them, and communicate with them. It will be their world in the not too distant future, and in some ways, it already is. These young people are not the enemy of the mature; they are fruit of our labors. Nature compels them to rebel against us while at the same time it drives us to want to get closer to them. Studying the generations and what makes each so unique will help us as we try to co-exist gracefully.
