Description:
Anastasia Toomey from the Telocity Group will present the workshop "The Four Generation Workplace? Turning Tension into Energy" from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Nov. 12 at the Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce offices at 1624 Market St., Suite 340, in Denver, CO.
The workshop is $15 for members, $20 for non-members and walk-ins, and $10 for young professionals. Organixx will provide snacks during the workshop. Attendees can register online at
www.cwcc.org.
Toomey will give participants a taste of how to manage rough generational waters and learn to live in the tension.
According to Toomey, the combination of the population explosion and new medicine means that for the first time in history, individuals contribute and stay in the workforce longer. Companies must wrestle with how to manage a wider age range of employees with different backgrounds. Additionally, businesses must learn to harness and transform the current generational tensions into productive energy for their organizations. This workshop will help attendees discover:
•Differences and similarities between generations
•What influences their decisions
•What causes communication breakdowns;
•Why expectations are so different
•How cross-generational teams can learn to work productively and harmoniously
