Description
Overview
The Perennial Workplace is … “An every-blooming group of people of all ages, stripes, and types who transcend stereotypes and make connections with each other and the world around them. They are not defined by their generation.”
This quote by BlogHer17, Gina Pell, explains the goal for organizations who want five generations to work harmoniously together, innovating and completing projects on time.
Ever-blooming individuals we discuss include Diana Nyad who successful swam from Cuba to the Florida Keys at age 64, Novak Djovovic who won the Gold Medal for Tennis at 37, and gymnast Simone Biles, 27, who recently triumphed at the Paris Olympics with 3 Gold Medals.
Why should you Attend ?
Reason #1: The workplace of the 20th century was based on a sequential work mindset. A sequential mindset means individuals enter the workplace, build a career, and retire, often taking with them enormous amounts of knowledge and expertise. This model leaves the organization information poor. This is also referred to as a generational workplace where many generations work together, often unsuccessfully.
Reason #2: We are entering a post-generational workplace where a new workforce known merely as “perennials” has emerged. This environment shifts the focus away from categorizing employees by their generational cohorts and instead emphasizes individual strengths, preferences, and skills. This approach minimizes stereotypes and assumptions often associated with generational labels. It promotes a more inclusive and productive workplace.
Reason #3: With this knowledge you can create a culture that merges the experience of older workers with the speed of younger workers. A smart choice for innovation and profitability

Webinar Objective
The post-generational work environment individualizes the workplace by focusing on the unique preferences and abilities of each employee rather than generalizing needs based on age or generation.
A benefit of the post-generational workplace is that teams are formed based on perennial skills, expertise, and project requirements versus stereotyping the individual by the decade in which they were born. This encourages collaboration and knowledge shared across traditional generational boundaries.
This webinar emphasizes emotional intelligence, empathy, and effective communication with opposite personalities from different generations.
