Details

Australians are entering the workforce earlier and retiring increasingly later. Our population is ageing and on average people are living longer and healthier lives. More workplaces are reporting they have an older workforce, with over 19% of Australian businesses stating that more than half their workforce is over 50 years old (Australian Human Resources Institute (2021).

For the first time in the modern workplace, companies must grapple with the complex challenge of five generations of employees working alongside each other. The intergenerational workforce presents managers with both difficult challenges and exciting opportunities.

Intergenerational friction is inevitable in a workplace with unique work styles, preferences, expectations, communication styles, and different values. Join our team of expert panellists as we breakdown how to navigate these challenges and turn your intergenerational workforce into your secret weapon.

We will be joined by Manisha Amin (Centre for Inclusive Design), Dan Brockwell (Earlywork), Yaniv Bernstein (Circular) and Hiam Sakakini (The Culture Equation) to learn from their years of combined industry expertise as we explore the complexities of a intergenerational workplace and discuss how you can turn this challenge into your company's competitive advantage .

With years of experience and personal anecdotes, together we will unearth how to:

• create awareness and start conversations in your team around multiple generations in the workplace

• leverage the benefits of multiple perspectives

• capitalise on problem solving and learning/mentoring opportunities

• manage different working styles with effective strategies

• communicate and manage different expectations

The event will consist of a panel discussion and an open Q&A session, as well as the opportunity to connect and network with our audience and panel members over drinks and nibbles afterwards.

Register now, we can't wait to meet you!
