There are now four generations in the workplace and each generation has unique style and communication skills. These differences can cause misunderstandings and conflict on work teams. However, these differences don't need to get in the way to a harmonious and productive workplace.
This new generations video covers the four generations - Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X'ers and Generation Y'ers. The program will help your workplace overcome the generation gap and create the relationships crucial to effective work teams.
Four Generations: The Greatest Potential covers each generation's differences and background to help your employees understand and respect each generations values. Your employees will learn:
Understand and empathize with colleagues from a different generation
Reduce and resolve conflicts and communication problems
Facilitate better teamwork and increase productivity
Recognize and respect each other’s value and input.
Video Synopsis: The video uses several scenarios to demonstrate how generational differences are played out in the workplace. One part is on a conflict of values as two co-workers heatedly discuss to whom they should give a big, lucrative account. On the one side is Stuart, a baby boomer who values Bob’s loyalty to the company, his responsibility, and his solid numbers. On the other is Glenda, a Generation X’er who prefers Jenny’s creativity, street smarts, huge figures, and intense, driving mindset.
In other vignettes, Glenda the Generation X’er and Jenny the Generation Y’er show the differences in communication styles; Ted the traditionalist takes Glenda’s continuous questioning as a lack of respect; and Stuart the baby boomer fails to understand and disapproves of why an intern applicant inquires about career development, job benefits, and the portability of the benefits.
Four Generations: The Greatest Potential steps back to look at each of these situations. A host-narrator explains the dynamics involved and how they generate misunderstandings and heated discussions. The program ends as the four generations come to a better understanding of one other and resolve their earlier differences.
