Organizations today are faced with the challenge of recruiting, engaging and retaining a multigenerational workforce. For HR to be a strategic partner, people practices must align to the values, expectations and behaviours of all four generations. To be an employer of choice, you must tap into the motivations of each cohort in order to engage all employee groups. By doing so, you will be able to maximize each generation’s skills sets, while managing the differences.
This interactive workshop explains how the road to creating engaged employees is dependent on your HR practices demonstrating organizational engagement – transparency, responsiveness and partnering. Your HR team will explore how to best recruit, retain and develop your multigenerational workforce. We ask a series of questions, designed to help your team with action planning future people strategies.

In a competitive marketplace, organizations face the challenge of recruiting the right person, for the right job, at the right time. To do so, recruiters, hiring managers and HR leaders need to clearly communicate your unique selling proposition, and select employees who will be the best fit for your organization. Once the right employees are recruited, they need to be effectively on-boarded to ensure your organizational values are inculcated and that they are set up for success.
This workshop explores effective interviewing techniques, generational responses to the recruitment process and how to evaluate candidates’ best fit. We provide a framework for creating an engaging on-boarding process that will seal the psychological deal with new hires.
