Generational Awareness Sessions / MASTERCLASSES

Unlocking Multigenerational Insights: 97% of Employees Seek Understanding

Surprisingly, 97% of employees admit to having limited knowledge about the formative influences that have shaped their colleagues' mindsets and behaviors across generations. Enter the realm of Generational Awareness Sessions – a transformative experience that embarks participants on a collective exploration.

These sessions facilitate a shared journey, illuminating the defining influences of each generation. We delve into the challenges encountered while working in tandem, underscore the significance of intergenerational collaboration, decode the origins of conflicts, and chart pathways to resolution. Suitable for multigenerational audiences, specific age groups, or even incoming interns and graduates, these sessions foster profound insights into the dynamics at play.

Moreover, we recognize the unique role of line managers. Tailored sessions for managers ensure they grasp the expectations of fresh joiners while acquainting new hires with the managerial perspective. This thoughtful approach amplifies satisfaction and engagement, fostering harmony and shared progress throughout the program.

The best way to build cross-generational awareness is to train employees of all age groups on how different generations think, operate and define success.

Ever pondered how your employees perceive their role within a multigenerational setting? What hurdles they navigate and how your organization can cultivate a culture of inclusivity, where every voice matters? Understanding your people—present and future—is pivotal in crafting strategies that bridge gaps and leverage opportunities for intergenerational harmony.

Our approach involves a blend of qualitative & quantitative research, unveiling nuanced insights into employee experiences. From these insights, we deliver tailor-made recommendations, aiding employers in shaping formal practices and initiatives that encourage intergenerational cooperation and diversity.

Elevate your workplace by connecting with your workforce's perspectives and aspirations, and foster a vibrant, unified culture that thrives on collaboration and respect.

"Organizations must know how their employees really feel about their role in a multigenerational workforce. Then they must be able to identify what people are absolutely world class at and what is emphasised by generational differences; create a learning environment with cross-generational knowledge transfer; and put feedback loops and measurement systems in place to ensure everyone is working together towards the same goal".

MGW ROUNDTABLES & PEER SUPPORT GROUPS

Forging Connections through CEO/CHRO Roundtables and Peer Support Groups

Our platform offers an avenue for employees spanning generations to connect and conquer challenges together, fostering a bedrock of collaboration. CEO and CHRO Roundtables, as well as Peer Support Groups, present unique opportunities for shared dialogue. Immerse yourself in the Round Table discussions, where participants gather around, each taking a turn to offer their insights on the chosen topic. This format ensures that every voice resonates equally, enabling vibrant discussions on best practices, industry trends, and workplace hurdles. On the other hand, our Peer Support Groups provide a haven for more personal and coaching-oriented interactions within a consistent peer circle. In a casual, unstructured setting, participants openly present problems or propose solutions in a space of trust. These gatherings are a unique chance to connect with peers and navigate challenges in a nurturing environment. Whichever path you choose – Roundtables or Peer Support Groups – you'll find a community eager to learn, share, and thrive together.

Small groups where employees come together to address frustrations, concerns and desires, are necessary in order to help employees communicate in new, open and honest ways

"Giving every employee group a voice, a seat at the table, and the opportunity to discuss challenges openly in meetings that are held on a regularly scheduled basis, that are facilitated by a Chair and that have set themes or topics for the discussion - if there is follow through - can really transform an organization!"
