December Forum: GENERATIONS IN THE WORKFORCE
Millennials, Gen-Xers and Baby Boomers
The challenges of creating a productive workplace for all
By 2025, millennials, also known as Gen Y or those born in the 80’s and 90’s, will make up the majority of the workforce.
If a business wants to succeed in today’s world, understanding what different generations value and how those values impact their work styles is mandatory. How are employers dealing with theses differences among the three generations? What kind of changes have they made? Millennials will be the majority of the workforce by 2025. Are employers ready for this shift? Our panel will discuss the different values and work attitudes of each generation and how they’ve accommodated these differences. Plus we’ll hear from a Millennial about her experience working with the older generations.
speakers:
- Stephanie Miller, Chief Operations Officer, Express Employment Professionals
- Gary Fish, Founder, Owner and President, Deschutes Brewery
- Lorelei Williams, City of Bend employee and proud millennial
moderator:
- Jim Morris, Principle, Moementum, Inc.
