Web-Based Training Series: Making Cross-generational Teams Work

Making Cross-generational Teams Work        





Teams in the modern workplace may include members from as many as four different generations. For a team to work effectively, its manager must understand generational distinctions. Individual team members may subscribe to different values, practice different work habits, or seek different goals. Lessons in this course cover the benefits and challenges of teaming silent generation, baby boom generation, Generation X, and Generation Next employees.
