Generations: M.E.E.T. for Respect in the Workplace

With baby boomers working well into what was once considered retirement age and young people entering the already crowded job market, the average workplace now consists of a makeup of workers with ages spanning four or five generations.

More than ever, employers are responsible for minimizing generational conflict and strengthening collaboration to cultivate mutual respect among both employees and management. Generations: M.E.E.T. for Respect in the Workplace demonstrates practical tips for working successfully in a multigenerational workplace.

With scenes revealing general assumptions based on age and notably different communication styles, the video modules outline defining characteristics of the different generations to enable a tolerant, accepting and most of all, respectful workplace. This engaging training course spotlights the M.E.E.T. Model that will facilitate communication among employees to help accommodate a diverse work environment: Make time to discuss, Explore differences, Encourage respect, Take personal responsibility to resolve.

This 2 part series contains the 28 minute main program, Generations: M.E.E.T. for Respect in the Workplace for all employees, and a 14 minute Managing Generations specifically for managers. Plus, an added bonus meeting opener, Generations: Bridging the Gap.
