Akron SHRM’s meetings are generally held on the second Wednesday of each month.

Akron SHRM’s monthly meetings and additional events are designed to educate, enhance and occasionally entertain the human resource professional. In addition, these meetings and events provide members and guests a wonderful opportunity to network, share ideas and discuss human resource related challenges.

Location:

Topic:

Generational Divides

For the first time in history, four distinct generations—Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Xers, and
Milennials - are working side by side within the workplace. They are teaching and learning together
on a day-to-day basis. With differing values, thoughts around leadership, and communication styles,
these generations are facing very real conflicts.

In this workshop, participants will learn how each generation developed its core values, how that
manifests in the workplace today, and how these generations can work, learn, and grow together to
accomplish great success despite the generational divides.
