Program Highlights

Keynote Speaker – Katie Iles

Katie Iles

Working in multigenerational team!
For the first time in history, we have four generations in the workforce. Team members of all ages bring valuable and diverse skill sets, and more times than not, diversity in skillset strengthens a team. At the same time, in little over a generation, organisations have been transformed from hierarchical structures to collaborative environments that exist in an increasingly hybrid and flexible context. In this changing landscape, what can different generations learn from each other? How can we effectively engage and collaborate with our multi-generational colleagues to ensure the workplace remains safe and productive? This session will unpack key workforce trends and how to make the most of everything Baby Boomers, Gen Z, Millennials and Gen Z have to offer. Katie will unpack insights for today’s multi-generational workforce, including:

• Key characteristics that inform the values and approach of different generations within the workplace

• Emerging workforce trends across all generations and how they will shape the future of work

• Tools for creating healthy workplace culture for all generations
