OVERVIEW
Organisations invest millions of dollars in training and development because of their beliefs about generational differences. There are at least five generations now in the workplace: Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z. Conflict is an unavoidable byproduct in any social environment; especially when there is multigeneration with different dispositions, values, behaviors and levels of emotional intelligence. Managing a multigenerational workforce with so many different perspectives, experiences, values and goals poses a unique organizational challenge for company leaders, managers and HR professionals.
What experiences have you had conflicting with different generations?
Tension or conflict is inevitable in an intergenerational workplace. These include minor factors, such as an employee with a messy or cluttered work station, as well as major factors, such as an employee who verbally attacks another employee in an attempt to undermine their ability to work. It is a common problem experienced by many employers and employees.
Intergenerational workplace conflicts can negatively influence the workplace in many different ways. They can lead to fighting, such as verbal gossip or even physical altercations in more extreme circumstances; workplace conflicts can also cause a lowered job satisfaction and lower productivity.
Why You Should Attend?
Everyone in management must develop effective conflict management skills especially in the current multigenerational workplace. Being adaptive is the only way to keep disputes from impeding employees’ career advancement.
