"Generational differences increase an organization's vulnerability to miscommunication, misunderstanding, and unproductive conflict." Linda Gravett, "Bridging the Generation Gap: How to Get Radio Babies, Boomers, Gen Xers, and Gen Yers to Work Together and Achieve More"

As individuals we identify with events that have occurred in our lives and use those events as the basis for our decision-making. Every generation is defined by a series of events. This generational divergence creates challenges in our ability to create unified, productive teams.

This workshop provides faculty and staff with an introduction to the generations, the challenges often associated with a multigenerational workforce, and the benefits of having multiple generational teams. This session presents tools and techniques for increasing collaboration to transform the university into a productive and welcoming work environment.
