Description
Through this course, Communicating & Collaborating Across Generations, healthcare workers will gain knowledge of the five working generations in the workforce today, strengthening their knowledge and understanding of generational diversity. They will develop skills, through the sharing of tools and resources, that focus on improving intergenerational communication and collaboration to build stronger teams and workplaces across Health and Human Service disciplines. Why it matters: As a new generation (Gen Z b. 1996-2012) enters the workforce, it is more important than ever for healthcare workers to strengthen their understanding of generational diversity, developing a new lens in which to see themselves and others in the workplace. 60% of respondents to a recent online poll stated that being part of a generation negatively influences how they’re treated at work. A lack of understanding of the strengths that each generation brings to the workplace can lead to communication breakdowns, poor patient/client service delivery, low team morale, and higher employee turnover.
Objectives

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Recognize and use best practices to improve intergenerational workplace communication and collaboration.
  • Identify skills and techniques available to build stronger workplaces and improve overall client service delivery.
  • Discover a strengths-based view of how different generations contribute to the workforce, learning to seek new opportunities and team growth rather than insurmountable individual differences and barriers to effective teamwork.
  • Bolster team connection and relationship building, contributing to a positive and energizing workplace environment.
