SkillSoft Topic of the Month: Managing Workforce Generations
The ‘Workforce Generations’ series is a set of three 1-hour modules and three 10-minute videos that contain information necessary for our multigenerational workplace. The first module describes the common characteristics of the four main generations in the workforce – the Traditionals, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and the Millennial Generation and introduces the benefits of cross-generational teams. The second module reviews the potential sources of conflict within a generationally diverse team and strategies for managing a multigenerational team in a way that ensures your team members feel included, respected, and supported. This module also describes how to implement a mentoring program that takes advantage of the varying experiences and perspectives of multiple generations. The third module describes best practices and successful techniques for managing Millennial and Generation X employees.
