Gen X Corporate Training

Think about it. It is more than likely that Generation X managers at your company will some day (if not already) be supervising Baby Boomer employees who are twice their age and five time more experienced (although neither would admit this).

Bring SeasonedPRO experts to your worksite and train your Generation X managers how to work more effectively with Baby Boomers with SeasonedPRO’s newly-created Managing Baby Boomers In A Gen X World workshop.

Help Your Managers Bridge the Generation Gap
Many employers are becoming interested in hiring Baby Boomers in anticipation of projected labor shortages and concerns over age bias litigation. (You can read about this growing concern by going to the AARP article titled, “A Landmark Supreme Court Decision is Being Hailed as ‘The Emancipation Proclamation for Older Workers.’”)

At the same time, research shows that career development activities for older alumni are one of the most appreciated services a college can offer. A recent Los Angeles Times article titled “Long-Term Jobless Find a Degree Just Isn’t Working,” stated that 20% of all long-term jobless hold a college degree and that the number of educated jobless has more than tripled since 2000.

The point is that many Baby Boomers will continue employment way past traditional retirement age and your company will surely need to hire them, not only because you may be facing a labor shortage but also to better match your workforce with your maturing customer base.

The Course
To address this need, SeasonedPRO has designed a new course, Managing Baby Boomers In A Gen X World. Baby Boomer content experts — the same experts who regularly present at university-sponsored SeasonedPRO Baby Boomer career conferences, teach the course.

The one-day course is fun, enlightening and informative and covers the following topics:

• What Do You Know About Baby Boomer Workers?
• What Do You Know About Generation X Workers?
• How Did the Baby Boomer Get Here Anyway?
• Compare and Contrast — Let’s Understand the Differences.
• The Social Science Behind the Two Generations.
• What Will Be the Likely Sources of Conflict?
• Managing the Conflicts!
• What You Need to Know From a Legal Perspective.
• How to Leverage the Differences and Build Mutual Respect.

A Complete Training Package:

• Classes are customized, using industry examples to illustrate the curriculum.
• SeasonedPRO certifies all instructors.
• A take-home workbook allows managers to use the material on an ongoing basis.
• Ongoing e-mail support for 90 days after the course.
• Subscription to the SeasonedPRO newsletter, providing course updates and a wealth of Baby Boomer career information.
• Low Cost: For about $150 per student, your managers can become Baby Boomer-literate, resulting in increased productivity, collaboration and respect.
