As Gen Z enters the workforce, for the first time in history, we have four, sometimes five, generations working side by side – a reality that is creating a new set of challenges for business leaders. And while workplace diversity, whether in gender, race, or age, can serve companies well by allowing them to tap into a variety of perspectives, experiences, and expertise to solve problems and generate ideas, conflict can arise from generational differences in values and working styles. Left unchecked, these differences could lead to resentment, unconscious bias and stereotyping and ultimately affect employee morale and engagement and undermine productivity.
This session is focused on age diversity as a source of competitive advantage and offers the tools that companies can adopt to build bridges between generations, form high-performing multi-generational teams, and create a fair and harmonious workplace for all.

Generation Z, the true digital natives, are showing us every day how they use the power of technology to form movements, build micro businesses, and exert influence. In the process they have given us the “creator economy”, a new career model that is built on content creation and sharing. Yet, despite of the online chatter and the big headlines, we fail to discuss the effects of the "creator economy” on the workplace. With 30% of our youth want to be "creators", it is easy to imagine the negative effects and challenges for talent pipelines and retention. But what if the opportunity is greater than the threat?
This thought-provoking session explores how we can make the workplace better for people, drive innovation, and improve financial performance by nurturing the underlying characteristics and values of the creator economy: passion, creativity, collaboration, entrepreneurship, and joy. Key learnings / outcomes:
•Understand the creator economy and its effect on the workplace •Learn the key attributes and practices of the creator’s world, how they can positively impact the workplace and how you can adopt these practices to make your organization a better place to work.
Generation Z is expected to account for 30% of the workforce by 2030, so their importance cannot be overstated. After all, the future success of many organizations will depend on their ability to attract, develop, and retain the next generation of employees. Yet, business leaders across industries seem to struggle with the arrival of Gen Z.
