Hana Ben-Shabat

As Gen Z enters the workforce, for the first time in history, we have four, sometimes five, generations working side by side – a reality that is creating a new set of challenges for business leaders. And while workplace diversity, whether in gender, race, or age, can serve companies well by allowing them to tap into a variety of perspectives, experiences, and expertise to solve problems and generate ideas, conflict can arise from generational differences in values and working styles. Left unchecked, these differences could lead to resentment, unconscious bias and stereotyping and ultimately affect employee morale and engagement and undermine productivity.

This session is focused on age diversity as a source of competitive advantage and offers the tools that companies can adopt to build bridges between generations, form high-performing multi-generational teams, and create a fair and harmonious workplace for all.

Audience members will leave with:

• Gain insights into the challenges of age / generational diversity; their root causes and how they manifest at the workplace
• Learn effective tools to address differences in values and workplace
