In today’s working environment, you’ll find people of various ages, backgrounds, experiences and qualifications all collaborating in the same space. With all of the different perspectives and talent, this usually makes a stronger team with a better output. However, it can also be a challenging if you don’t know how to manage or communicate to the different audiences.
The five common challenges companies face when it comes to leading a diverse group of employees across different generations include:
- Different priorities
- Preferred communication styles
- Work/life balance expectations
- Training and development opportunities
- Change and innovation
The Making Our Strong Community Stronger initiative is excited to invite you to the next DEI session about “Creating a Thriving Multi-Generational Workforce.” Join us at SHARE New Orleans on Monday, August 14 at 9:45 -10:45 am. Dr. Gloria Chance, CEO and Founder of The Mousai Group, will moderate a panel discussion exploring how multigenerational mainframers are bridging the age gap within their organizations. Come hear your industry peers:
- Acknowledge the age gap in the industry
- Discuss the realities of multigenerational workplaces
- Explore what it is like to be older/younger/mid-career as the demographics of your workforce shift
- Examine the challenges/opportunities that exist
- Discuss ways for all to thrive
Making Our Strong Community Stronger, sponsored by BMC, Broadcom, IBM, Open Mainframe Project, Rocket Software, TechChannel and Virtual Z Computing, will also host a reception at SHARE on Monday evening from 7:00 – 8:o0 PM in the Empire C Room.
