“The Multigenerational Workplace: Myths, Facts, Managing”    By Dan Kazakoff

Diversity in organizations is a widely discussed topic today.  When most people think of diversity they think of race, ethnicity, disability, gender or culture.  However, one of the ways we see difference in the workplace is the generation in which employees grew up.  With three to five generations working alongside each other in most workplaces, a lack of understanding across generations can have a detrimental impact on working relationships and organizational productivity.  This talk will examine the myths and facts of the multigenerational workplace, along with providing some suggestions for strategies to manage in this context.
