Boomers, Gen X, Millenials, Gen Z: four generations live side by side in the workplace today. Sometimes they live together, sometimes they ignore each other. And sometimes tensions arise from mutual misunderstandings. Age is still one of the main criteria for discrimination. The first victims of "ageism" are older people, but also younger people.
Building, managing and working in cross-generational teams is not always easy for companies. However, there is much to be gained from doing so, as the differences in life experience, the diversity of references and communication styles, and the range of expertise are real assets for the team as a whole. The key to breaking down barriers? Becoming aware of age stereotypes, learning to overcome the unconscious biases associated with them, and developing listening skills and empathy.
Through question-and-answer games, exercises and concrete examples of experiments that have proved effective, this interactive, inspiring and offbeat conference, full of positive energy and humour, will prepare your teams, whatever their generation, to take up the challenge of intergenerational relations together.
