Managing Multiple Generations in the Workplace - June Summer Webinar 2025

Managing Multiple Generations in the Workplace

Presented by innovateHR

Description:
Tired of hearing the same old generational stereotypes? Us too. This dynamic and interactive session will skip the clichés and get straight to what really matters: real-life tactics for managing a multigenerational workforce—and avoiding the legal pitfalls that can come with it. From recruiting and retention to tech frustrations and policy confusion, we’ll cover what’s working (and what’s not) when five generations collide in the workplace. Whether you're leading a team of Gen Z creatives or mentoring a Baby Boomer nearing retirement, this session will offer practical strategies you can apply right away—while keeping you on the right side of employment law.

Key Topics Include:

• Rethinking recruitment to appeal across age groups
• Compensation and benefits: balancing fairness with flexibility
• Time off: who’s asking for what—and how to respond legally
• Managing conflict and coaching through generational differences
• Policy traps (hello, dress codes and remote work)
• The great technology divide and what to do about it

You’ll leave with:

• Real tools to improve communication and connection across generations
• A better understanding of how to stay compliant while staying human
• A few laughs (because if we can’t laugh about this, what can we laugh about?)
