Topic: Engaging the Workforce Across Generations - Speaker Liesl Hays and Melissa O'Daniel - Sponsor - Bank of Grain Valley - Are you struggling with a co-worker’s approach to their work? Do you find yourself saying, "Kids

these days!"

The diversity of our workforce continues to expand and in 2024, there are five different

generations each bringing their own set of values, beliefs, and ways of

completing work. Cross generational collaboration is critical for organizational success, but

communication barriers have created tension in the American workforce for decades.

While the generations we are born into, do not define us as individuals, they can provide clues to

help us work together more effectively.

As the workforce changes, it’s possible to create engagement, loyalty, and high productivity!

Let the Gen X and Millennial business partners guide you in considering these very real

questions:

understand their values, motivations and what inspires them?

- How can I leverage the unique skillsets of each of my team members to get work done?

After participating in this session, you will be equipped to:

-Recognize the unique skillsets of each team member to work together more effectively.

-Understand the value each generation brings to the workforce and how to leverage it.

ways of doing work.
