Generational Awareness Sessions / MASTERCLASSES
Unlocking Multigenerational Insights: 97% of Employees Seek Understanding
Surprisingly, 97% of employees admit to having limited knowledge about the formative influences that have shaped their colleagues' mindsets and behaviors across generations. Enter the realm of Generational Awareness Sessions – a transformative experience that embarks participants on a collective exploration.
These sessions facilitate a shared journey, illuminating the defining influences of each generation. We delve into the challenges encountered while working in tandem, underscore the significance of intergenerational collaboration, decode the origins of conflicts, and chart pathways to resolution. Suitable for multigenerational audiences, specific age groups, or even incoming interns and graduates, these sessions foster profound insights into the dynamics at play.
Moreover, we recognize the unique role of line managers. Tailored sessions for managers ensure they grasp the expectations of fresh joiners while acquainting new hires with the managerial perspective. This thoughtful approach amplifies satisfaction and engagement, fostering harmony and shared progress throughout the program.
The best way to build cross-generational awareness is to train employees of all age groups on how different generations think, operate and define success.

On the other hand, our Peer Support Groups provide a haven for more personal and coaching-oriented interactions within a consistent peer circle. In a casual, unstructured setting, participants openly present problems or propose solutions in a space of trust. These gatherings are a unique chance to connect with peers and navigate challenges in a nurturing environment. Whichever path you choose – Roundtables or Peer Support Groups – you'll find a community eager to learn, share, and thrive together.
Small groups where employees come together to address frustrations, concerns and desires, are necessary in order to help employees communicate in new, open and honest ways
"Giving every employee group a voice, a seat at the table, and the opportunity to discuss challenges openly in meetings that are held on a regularly scheduled basis, that are facilitated by a Chair and that have set themes or topics for the discussion - if there is follow through - can really transform an organization!"
