They may do things differently, but new research suggests younger workers are often the most engaged and motivated segment of a company’s workforce. “Potter says the workshops encourage employees to reserve judgment and be curious about why their older or younger colleagues do things differently.”
Forget the headlines.
Let’s talk about what really drives your team.
We don’t stand for stereotypes - our workshops are about looking behind the negative headlines, exploring generational norms and sharing the latest research. We then use that to better understand the differences between individuals but, more importantly, finding the commonalities. Then find ways of bridging the gaps, capitalising on the shared values and improving our ways of working.
