Generational Diversity: Bridging a Divided Workplace
Charity Prentice, Vice President of Educational Programs, IIA
Objectives: This session will provide a forum for
participants to discuss and share approaches to:
- Identify four generations in the workplace, and define them
by experience and events
- Compare and contrast the values of each generation
- Consider and identify potential problems for an organization
when people from different generations fail to communicate
effectively
- Strategies for cross-generational communication
This is the first time in history that we have four different
generations in the workplace. At work generational differences
impact everything from recruiting and managing to motivating and
retaining. This session will help you understand the
characteristics, attitudes and values of each generation and how you
can learn to effectively use that knowledge to hire, motivate and
most importantly improve communication.

Collaboration Vs Collision - The Four Generation Workplace
Sherri Elliott-Yeary, CEO of Gen InsYght
Objectives: Today’s workforce comes with very
different expectations and values. How they are rewarded, use
technology, communicate and see education and advancement are quite
different. Say “hello” to the new American workforce. For the first
time in history, communicating with employee’s means reaching out to
four distinct generations – Traditionalists, Boomers, Xers and
Millennials. Each group has different values, different experiences
and different expectations. Needless to say, the rules of
recruitment and retention haven’t just changed; they’ve been thrown
out altogether.
This session will provide a forum for participants to discuss and
share approaches to:
- Why the entrance of the Millennial generation into today’s
workforce has changed the game
- How to build an effective generational blend for maximum
competitive advantage
- How to identify and manage conflicts born out of
generational gaps
- How to recruit, retain, and motivate the best talent from
each generation
- How to craft a branding message that speaks across the
generational divide to attract top talent and make them want to
stay.
This insightful and often humorous look at generational
differences and their impact on corporate structures provides an
effective framework for turning potential pitfalls and liabilities
into a true competitive advantage. The time you spend with the
“Generational Guru” is a “can’t-miss” event for everyone who is
anxious to get a leg up on the competition.
 Sherri Elliott-Yeary, author of Ties to Tattoos and
CEO of Gen InsYght, talks about how the game has changed and reveals
what you need to know to sustain a competitive advantage in today’s
marketplace. Sherri explains how each generation brings a unique
perspective to communication, respect, feedback, and management
style. Drawing value from these perspectives is no easy task, but is
nonetheless achievable by creating flexible and often
outside-the-box programs that allow each generation to contribute to
company objectives in ways that make sense to them.
Mrs. Elliott-Yeary is extensively involved in her community,
where she serves on the board of the Methodist Regional Medical
Foundation; Build the Bridge Cancer Foundation, Staffing Management
Association and the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce. She is also a
member of CEO Netweavers and is an active mentor in the community.
Her mission is to reach out and help others in the HR profession.
Sherri has spent considerable time conducting research, writing
articles, and making presentations, in addition to mentoring
tomorrow’s HR stars one-on-one.
