A Industry Leadership Series Event:

"The Generational Melting Pot: Managing the Clash of Traditionals, Boomers, X-ers and Millennials in the Workplace"

Underwritten by:

When most organizational leaders think of diversity initiatives, they tend to think of racial, gender, and cultural diversity. Another prevalent aspect of workplace diversity that remains largely overlooked by most organizations is generational diversity.

For the first time in history, there are 4 generations in the workplace: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials.

A multi-generational workforce presents many challenges for today's organizations. Each group brings different experiences, culture, motivations, priorities, skills, biases, and preferred management styles. Yet the ability for these diverse groups of people to work together is the power that propels organizations into new dimensions of performance.

On Thursday, March 29th, The Financial Women’s Association of San Francisco is delighted to host John P. Morrissey, Learning and Development Consultant at Wells Fargo Bank, as he shares valuable insights on how generational diversity impacts our workplace. Rebecca Macieira-Kaufmann will be facilitating the discussion.

This session will

• Identify the different expectations and core values of each generation;
• Highlight the unique assets of each group;
• Explore ways to manage intergenerational conflict; and
• Recommend strategies to attract and retain people from different age groups.
