Navigating Generational Differences in the Professional EnvironmentMeghan Granito
With five generations meeting in the workplace for the first time in history, we are challenged daily to understand the attitudes, values, and demands of our coworkers, customers, and the public in general. Understanding the similarities and differences between the generations, including distinct preferences for how to communicate effectively, is key to successful relationships.

This is the presentation I delivered to Hoteliers at a Caterer.com breakfast presentation, with the focus on engaging gen y in the workplace, on 24th September 2010.
What are generation Y? What are the implications for employees? How do you manage them?
The global workforce is undergoing a huge shift. The net generation, Gen Y, is growing up quickly and account for almost half the workforce already. According to an HBR article, in four years Millennials – the people born between 1977 and 1997 – will account for nearly half the employees in the world. In some companies, they already do!
Organizations that engage Millennials will get ahead. The net generation wants to learn and grow and they're not afraid to ask for it. Now that we know that something has to change, ask yourself: what are you going to do for them?
4 ways to keep Millennials engaged:
1. Get rid of the performance review.
2. Be a coach.
3. Give recognition.
4. Share ongoing feedback.
The current generation of young and promising software developers believes, thinks and acts different. They love freedom and flexibility. Unfortunately, on a daily basis they have to cooperate with more traditionally thinking project managers. It's a clear example of a Gen Y versus Gen X conflict. It's the confrontation between two completely differently thinking generations. Will we be able to solve this?
People are products of their history, their environment and all of their experiences. As a result, people from different generations often have very different life experiences that shape how they think, what they value, and what drives them. These influences affect people’s values and attitudes throughout their lives.
Generational issues in the workplace are one of the biggest challenges facing organizations today. This presentation covers the latest research and ideas to successfully lead 4 generations in the workplace.

Managing 5 Generations in the Workplace Noon Knowledge Session, November 18, ...Sandy Ratliff
From the Traditionalists to the Gen 2020, each generation brings great strengths to the table, but they also bring preconceptions and even judgements. This lively and interactive Noon Knowledge session will offer an overview of each generation, the context in which they grew up, the traits and expectations they bring to the workplace, and some thoughts on how to harness their collective strengths, while keeping warfare from breakout out. Lil Dupree, Director of Program Development, with People Incorporated provided insights to managing various generations in the workplace.
Do you know what benefit Millennial employees want 3 TIMES MORE than cash bonuses?
Millennials, or the Gen Y workforce born between 1982 and 2002, are success-oriented but can be very high maintenance. They don’t adapt to corporate cultures. Your company must be “Millennial-friendly” or risk a high turnover rate with this not-so-tolerant generation.
With mass Boomer retirement starting, and the smaller number of Gen X workers replacing them, smart employers are currently scrambling to determine not only how to recruit their next generation of young employees, but how to retain the Millennials they have now.
Join us as Lisa Orrell, author of 2 best-selling books, Millennials Incorporated and Millennials into Leadership, explains the eight critical retention requirements Millennials seek from an employer. Lisa’s insight is backed by recent research into the Millennial generation and her years of experience working with multi-generations in organizations large and small.
In this presentation you will learn:
What makes the Millennial worker tick?
Where do you find and recruit this next generation worker?
How can you motivate, inspire and retain your Millennial workers?
Learn how your company can keep its best & brightest future leaders.

By understanding the generations in our workplace and what drives each of us, you help create a work environment where we can all focus on providing the best services for our clients (internal and external) and get needs for respect and communication met.
For the first time in history, there are four generations involved in philanthropy: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y (Millenials). Although each generation is philanthropic, they have individual preferences for how they are engaged by nonprofits, including the use of social media. The use of social media is an important part of stewarding your next generation donors, but does your organization have a clear understanding and plan of how social media can be used to raise funds? Learning ways to leverage multi-channel communications (including social media) across generations for your cultivation and stewardship strategies will benefit the fundraising efforts in your organization.
This session will demonstrate how important it is to create lifetime givers by reaching out to the younger generations (under age 40) now as well as define the key characteristics of the four currents generations of philanthropists and their habits for charitable giving. Participants will learn strategic entry points to successfully engage across generations in philanthropy, both as donors and within the fundraising functions. Ultimately, we need to cultivate every generation for the mission sustainability.
