1.25 SHRM PDCs | Competencies: Leadership & Navigation, HR Expertise, Global & Cultural Effectiveness | Intended Audience: Senior-Level
Workplace Application:
You will learn about the impact of generational differences on career development and how to create a multigenerational career development strategy with impact. 

In a world where talent is king, effective career development is a critical business strategy. At the same time, a one-size-fits-all' approach doesn't make sense in a multigenerational workplace. How has the economy impacted baby boomer retirement? What to do with a frustrated Gen Xer who has been waiting to take on more leadership? How do you productively channel the energy of your millennials? Get out in front of these dynamics or risk losing your talent. This session will:

  • Explore how changing workplace demographics impact succession management and career development.
  • Review the unique career development challenges facing each generational group and specific retention strategies you can employ to address those challenges.
  • Learn a step-by-step approach to creating a multigenerational career development strategy that combines succession management with employee engagement.
  • Examine case studies from real-world organizations that are implementing successful career development programs and initiatives.
