From the Traditionalists to the Gen 2020, each generation brings great strengths to the table, but they also bring preconceptions and even judgements. This lively and interactive Noon Knowledge session will offer an overview of each generation, the context in which they grew up, the traits and expectations they bring to the workplace, and some thoughts on how to harness their collective strengths, while keeping warfare from breakout out. Lil Dupree, Director of Program Development, with People Incorporated provided insights to managing various generations in the workplace.
