Today’s workforce presents many challenges to organizations.  First, there are a declining number of mid-career workers.  This decline is further exacerbated by the fact that Gen X is smaller in numbers than both Millennials and Baby Boomers.  With Baby Boomers exiting the workforce in historic numbers, there are not enough Gen X workers to fill the void.  Thus, Millennials will be asked to step up to leadership roles at a young age.  In addition, there will be more high-skilled jobs and fewer individuals to fill them.  Moreover, key skill sets will be in critically short supply.  For example, college majors in computer science have declined for the past several years and are now 39% lower than in the Fall of 2000.  Emigration will take away much of the highly skilled labor force. Educated, skilled immigrants —some, working in the U.S. for years — are going back to their home countries at an alarming rate. More than half of all Ph.D.s working in the U.S. are immigrants, as are 45% of physicists, computer scientists, and mathematicians.

Learn how your organization should be proactive with handling the generational mix in the workforce. This webcast presentation reviews the key characteristics of each generation and explores how these characteristics effect the work environment.  In addition, the presentation will cover the desires of each generation (Millennials, Gen X, Baby Boomers, and Silents) in the workplace.   We will give you practical strategies to recruit, train, retain and manage the generations in this multigenerational workforce. The presentation is based on the research and writings of Neil Howe and William Strauss who are noted generational experts.  In addition, the presentation is informed by other writers including Claire Raines, author of Generations at Work.
