The Future of Work™ Generations in the Workplace

SOLLAH EXCLUSIVE!

Each generation brings its own unique work styles and expectations to the workplace, based on common experiences many of them share. Generational influences - like parenting styles, the pandemic, war, the economy, global impacts, popular culture and other defining moments or events - contribute to generational characteristics that are brought into the workplace. To have an inclusive workplace, you have to be intentional and willing to listen to others, gain perspectives, and make adjustments, with the ultimate goal of staying connected… across generations.

What’s This Even Mean? (from The Future of Work™)

The speed of communication is increasing and changing. This happens at all levels whether it’s face-to-face, online, text, email, video, phone... It’s happening all the time, everywhere, and impacts every generation. When we have generational differences, it’s easy to have misunderstandings and miscommunication… because we won’t all communicate in the same way.

The Oh Series™ Everyday Diversity

Diversity in today's workplace is a given... and the value of that diversity allows organizations to draw on a fuller range of experiences - allowing them to think more creatively and avoid biased decision-making. But what if that diversity is causing tension? What if inclusion and equity are slow on the uptake? Treating others with respect is paramount to a successful and inclusive workplace.

A Hole in One… (from The Future of Work™)

Technology is definitely a factor in a lot of situations and generational misunderstandings. Many in today’s workforce grew up with technology. For them, information has always been a click away. Different ways of working can sometimes cause confusion and keep us from connecting or being effective. Sometimes we need to explore our differences and develop ways to work together more effectively. The M.E.E.T.® model can help us learn from each other in mutually beneficial ways.

Do You Hear What They’re Saying? (from The Future of Work™)

Some of the past ways of leading like command and control will not work well with the new generations coming into the workforce. They’re less interested in authority and fitting into old structures, and more interested in feeling like they belong and can contribute. The manager’s role is to engage their staff and to foster a culture which balances and attends to both…the work and the people. When we say that people matter and that relationships matter, it means that we are willing to change and be more flexible. That’s what inclusion is all about.

I’m Calling My Therapist! (from The Future of Work™)

Wellbeing is important to the overall quality of life and research has shown that it’s a higher priority than ever before as Millennials and Generation Z become the majority of the workforce. Some work habits, while commonly accepted, are not sustainable and often lead to burnout and other serious health consequences. Employee wellbeing contributes to organizational wellbeing and operational effectiveness. It has become a priority for many employers.

That Was the Most Bizarre Meeting! (from The Future of Work™)

Ageism has to do with people being discounted because of their age… being seen as too young or too old. Treating people differently in employment based on things like age can be unlawful. Bias based on age is a reality. Examples of age-related bias are coded comments such as someone is “set in their ways,” or “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” Being passed over for opportunity - assumptions such as older workers don’t understand technology and that younger workers are immature - are all examples of bias at work.

What Did I Say? (from The Future of Work™)

During a team meeting, you had an employee or staff member who uses a disrespectful word without realizing it. What do you do? Shaming and blaming can get in the way of our learning... and our relationships. That means we need to know how to recognize, respond, and recover when something we say, hear or observe is offensive or has a harmful impact on others. That’s what inclusion in action means… taking intentional actions to stay connected and support belonging.

When the Boss Calls a Meeting… (from The Future of Work™)

When generational communication differences cause misunderstandings about things like work requirements and work/life balance, what do you do? Our generational differences do influence our views about authority, and hierarchy. They also impact the things we say and how we say them. Many organizations have inherited traditional structures and practices that are rooted in militaristic approaches popular in the past. Using the M.E.E.T.® model is like having a coach helping us through the process. That way we create shared understanding, new agreements, and clear expectations.

The Positive Response (from Maximized Leadership™ The Power Of Positivity)

A positive response is a way to let an employee or team member know that not only are they doing a good job; but that you care about them as a person and appreciate their contribution. We've all gotten the little pats on the back before; the "nice goings" and the "good jobs." And there's nothing wrong with those. But a positive response is more than that.

Responding to Mistakes (from Maximized Leadership™ The Power Of Positivity)

There's always a better way to deal with the inevitable mistakes that happen in the workplace. And that's where positive redirection comes in. The purpose of redirection is to refocus energy and attention either back to what someone is supposed to do; or, if necessary, on to something else.

Introduction (from Maximized Leadership™ The Power Of Positivity)

What's the most common response you get when you do something right at work? If you said - nothing - you're right. People usually only pay attention to you when you make a mistake. The fact is a "gotcha" approach is what most people experience on the job. Which basically means they never hear from anyone until they mess up. And when they do hear from someone - it's usually to point fingers and make sure they know it's their fault.

Say Something Positive Today (from Maximized Leadership™ The Power Of Positivity)

Nothing can match the power of positive relationships to deliver results for ourselves and our organizations. To foster those relationships, we all need to wake up and say something positive... especially when things are going right. That's why using skills like redirection and giving people positive responses are so important.
