About This Course

Program Information Diversity takes many forms, and at its core, it's about managing differences among people. Whether your workforce spans from spirited 20-somethings to seasoned professionals approaching retirement, it's crucial to remember that generational traits are generalizations. There's no one-size-fits-all definition for a baby boomer or a millennial. This program covers the research that has been done on generational differences so we can consider how we might use this knowledge to help us create more effective communication strategies. At the core of this approach is a humanistic respect for the dignity and worth of each human in your company. While this program focuses on the differences between millennials and boomers, as a way to explore individual differences, the communication strategies derived can benefit anyone from any background dealing with people different from themselves.
