From Boomer to Zoomer–Managing the Evolving Workforce

Have you ever stopped to think that prior to 2020 we'd spent decades experimenting to find the "best" way to work? From private offices to cubes to open spaces with ping pong tables and collaboration areas, we still hadn't figured it out. Then, in an instant, we were forced to work from home offices, bedrooms, living rooms, or dining room tables. During the pandemic years, an entire generation joined the workforce without ever stepping foot in a traditional office setting—and many still haven't. So how do we create a harmonious workplace environment when generational experiences of work are so vastly different? We start by realizing there is no one "best" way to work and taking time to understand what each generation brings to the table and what they need to thrive. In this session, we'll explore why generational expectations around work have shifted so dramatically and share practical strategies for bridging the gaps to bring everyone together.
