Short Overview
The program is designed to enhance understanding and management of diversity resulting from the multigenerational composition of the workforce. Participants will explore the fundamental principles that govern different generations, such as the Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z, and how differences in values, motivations, and expectations impact workplace culture and collaboration.
Through the use of modern tools and methods, including case analysis, best practices, and the development of interpersonal skills like empathy, participants will learn practical techniques to improve communication and cooperation among generations.
Practical examples include the creation of mixed project teams that promote collaboration through diversity, the development of mentoring programs where more experienced employees guide younger colleagues and vice versa, as well as the implementation of flexible management practices that respond to the needs of each generation. Cultivating this diversity strategically enhances creativity, innovation, and productivity in the workplace.

Section Organization
Starting with understanding the characteristics of each generation, participants learn how these influence communication and collaboration strategies. Subsequently, empathy and conflict resolution create the conditions for understanding differences and promoting positive actions.
