Strategies for Effective Workplace Communication & Collaboration
Does it seem like you’ll never get through all the emails you receive in a day? Do have a strong suspicion that some of your colleagues don’t listen to voicemails you leave? Do you find it hard to get all your work done because of all the meetings in your calendar? If so, you’re not alone.
Maintaining strong communication and collaboration between different generations in the workplace has always been a bit tricky, but today’s hybrid workplace has made it even more challenging. Diverse teams carry diverse communication and collaboration styles and preferences. While some feel that communication technologies like Zoom and texting offer greater efficiency and convenience, others are worried we’re losing the interpersonal skills needed to succeed in the workplace. Some believe that an efficient, self-reliant approach gets the job done. Others value a more collaborative approach, seeking out different ideas and perspectives.
These different approaches can often create confusion and frustration. Learning to work through these obstacles results in greater efficiency, robust teams, productivity, and a more positive workplace.
This session explores how effective communication and collaboration benefits your company’s bottom line and creates a workplace where employees feel heard and valued.
This session will
· Present strategies to effectively communicate across generations.
· Unpack how each generation views communication technology and prefers to use it at work.
· Give insights into how different generations approach collaboration.
· Recommend strategies for delivering effective feedback across generations.
· Deliver tools to improve active listening, conflict management, and demonstrate empathy.Why Mentorship Matters: Building Effective & Lasting Relationships Across Generations
Mentorship helps people connect their deeper human motivations and values to their careers, which is especially crucial for connecting with younger employees today. Inter-generational mentoring (and reverse mentoring) can also lead to rewarding career development and increase employee retention. According to the Workplace Learning Report, 94% of employees said they would stay at a company longer if they were offered opportunities to learn and grow.
Mentoring in the workplace also has huge benefits for organizations themselves, increasing employee engagement, loyalty, and satisfaction. It
can also improve knowledge sharing, on-boarding ease, and a strong company culture.
This session will
· Explore the important distinction between mentoring and managing.
· Offer insights for making mentorship relationships mutually beneficial for mentors and mentees.
· Share tools for effectively maintaining mentorship relationships, even when things get busy.
· Provide best-in-class examples of successful mentorship relationships.Connecting Across Generations

· Explore the standout traits, values, and strengths each generation brings to the table.
· Address the challenges and misconceptions that can exist between the generations.

Different generations bring different expectations and life experiences to the workplace. This can be particularly challenging for managers attempting to lead teams comprised of workers from different generations. It’s not just about how to get the most out of your employees—it’s about making sure everyone has a fulfilling experience at work.
With record numbers of employees leaving their jobs, retention has become a top priority for every organization today. Scott’s session will explore the top reasons different generations leave organizations for other opportunities, and what you can do to not only retain your top talent but
give them the tools and support they need to excel in their jobs for years to come.
This session will:

· Explore how the generations act and react in times of growth and change.
