The viability and vitality of our organizations lies, in part, in our ability to engage the values of all generations at work. America has entered an era characterized by the highest level of
“generational diversity” in its history. It has never been more important for employers to understand what defines different generational perspectives and drives their resulting behaviors and choices.
Four years of research by Near Bridge, Inc., shows that when society is analyzed from a perspective of shared experiences, a clear and consistent set of shared values can be identified and linked to people born during specific social eras. Near Bridge segments the American population into event-based groups, called Value Populations™.
Each of the six sessions will focus on one Value Population (Patriots, Performers, Techticians, Believers, Transformers and Owls), and will examine the core values and key elements of inclusion that impacted that Value Population. We will integrate case studies, panel discussions and mixed media into each session.
The 2012 Central Florida Diversity Learning Series will help redefine generations using the Value Populations model developed by Near Bridge. This redefinition provides the basis for expanded thinking about employee engagement, leadership, and collaboration.
