Webinar Description
Are there people where you work, older or younger than you, who just don’t “get it?” They’re from another time, it seems, so they don’t understand what you do, or what you’re trying to do. Does it feel like there’s a battle going on sometimes?
 
Interactions and communications among Baby Boomers, Gen X'ers, and Millennials in the workplace has devolved into an “us” vs. “them” mentality. Doreen Collins and Janet Granger discuss this issue and how it affects the workplace, talent acquisition, and talent retention.
