| 1:00 pm - 1:45 pm | Keynote Presentation: Creating Positive Connections in a Multigenerational Work Force [More Info]
You already know that Millennials outnumber Baby Boomers and are the dominant generation in our workforce. But do you know how to better work with all generations? Five generations are currently in the workplace and each has different values, causing communication challenges and conflicts. Significant problems can occur in a business when people from different generations fail to communicate effectively. This lighthearted and fun session will compare and contrast the values of the generations, identify their differing feedback styles, and leave you with plenty of strategies for more effective cross-generational communication.
