People are discussing the impact that millenials (a.k.a. digital natives) are having on the world of work. Some
say digital natives are lazy, entitled and lack focus. Others comment on the clash between digital natives and
their colleagues not born into the digital era (digital immigrants).
In her documentary film "Beyond the Digital Divide: Bridging the generational gap for a more productive workplace", Vanessa will explore these issues.
In this workshop, participants will:
- Watch the documentary
- Learn how digital natives are impacting the world of work
- Understand what organizations need to do to bridge the gap between digital natives and digital immigrants at work
- Know what digital natives value and why their input is critical to the future of work
- Develop their own action plan to bridge the digital divide
