Generational Differences Training: Millennials And Gen Z At Work
Bruce Mayhew Consulting gets results because we use stories to turn information into actionable knowledge and skills.
Baby Boomers are retiring, Generation X are moving into greater leadership positions, Millennials have become the largest population in the workforce (with great expectations). And now we also have to consider Generation Z in the workplace. Yes, there is a new generation entering the workplace. That makes four generations all at once.
You can bridge the generational gaps in your organization. Bruce offers generational differences training in Toronto and across Canada, frequently speaking in Montreal, Kingston, Halifax and Vancouver to help teams explore how to lead a multi-generational workforce including how to motivate and inspire people who older - or younger than themselves.

Generational Differences Training Tips
Training Tip #1
We work in an multigenerational world. With four generations in the workplace, training is more important than ever. Inspirational leaders know how to motivate and mentor their multigenerational team. Intergenerational leadership includes everyone and cares for everyone... and this results in happy employees and happier customers.
Training Tip #2
Millennials want clear instructions about what their leaders want – but they want to complete the task their own way... and as long as it stays on time and on budget and follows the organizational values - why not? The key to managing and retaining Millennials in the workplace is to make their work relevant and important. When they are engaged and feel their contribution makes a difference, they will be loyal and work hard.
Training Tip #3
It's no longer possible to keep doing what we have been doing in the past and expect other people and especially other generations to be motivated by the same things we are. For example, Baby Boomers are traditionally motivated by money and recognize status and hierarchy.
Millennials want work/life balance, opportunity to better themselves and they want to know they are doing meaningful work. The best way to know who to motivate and reward your employees is not to look inward - but to ask each person... "What is important to you?"

Millennials Definition
The exact years of a Millennial changes depending on what country they are from and some cultural differences, however generally, Millennials (Generation Y) are born between 1980 - 1995.
A high-level Millennials definition should begin with their familiar reputation for being lazy which isn’t as valid as most believe. What they do want is interesting work and to know they are making a difference. Millennials have been told by their parents that they can do anything and that everyone has a valid opinion. So, if you are a Boomer or Gen X parent and employer, you now know why Millennials in the workplace are not shy and expect their opinions to be heard.
There is much more that goes into the Millennials definition and knowing how to manage, motivate and retain them. Please contact us to learn more about the generational differences of Millennials, Gen X and Boomers and how generations in the workplace training will help you improve overall work/life balance and productivity.
