Course Outline

Over the past decade, workplace dynamics have become more diverse and complex. People are living longer and working longer, and consequently, forward-looking organizations are adjusting their approach to communicating with employees encompassing soft skills like motivation, attitudes, and values. Currently,
organisations have the potential to have representation from five generations in their workplace; these include Baby Boomers, Traditionalists, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z. A recent study by Forbes indicates that by 2025 millennials will make up 75% of the workforce with Gen Z employees now eager to make their mark on the world of work. To maximize the benefits of a multi-generational workforce managers, supervisors, and team leads must adapt their management style to cater firstly to diversity and in turn, learn to communicate effectively with employees and teams.
