Generational Issues in the Workplace Seminar
9 a.m. - 4 p.m.; OSU-Tulsa

Ever wondered how new hires could be so impatient or how your boss could never have heard of “IM-ing”? The answer largely lies here: For the first time, four generations are converging in the workplace. Examine how the different life experiences of Traditionals, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials create challenges in communicating and collaborating and consider ways to bridge the generational divide with Dr. Ken Eastman in this workshop.
