About This Course

The modern workplace is one of vast generational diversity. But you already know that. By this point, you've seen how millennials communicate, you've seen how a boomer likes to work. However, it's likely you've been a bit concerned too. Is this generational diversity a problem? Regardless of age, everyone in the workplace has something to learn and something to teach. So, yes, that means that a newly minted millennial employee can easily help a veteran baby boomer and vice versa. Think of it this way: it's an opportunity, not a problem.

This program, brought to you by Global Workforce Innovator Laura Goodrich, demonstrates how these generations can be brought together seamlessly for better coexistence and collaboration. With a wide variety of generations successfully working together, innovation and unbridled creativity is bound to follow.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  1. Recognize the distinct communication styles, work preferences, and values associated with different generations in the workplace.
  2. Reframe generational diversity as an opportunity for mutual learning and collaboration rather than a source of conflict.
  3. Identify strategies for bringing together employees across generational lines to improve coexistence and teamwork.
  4. Apply approaches that leverage the strengths of each generation to drive innovation and creativity in the workplace

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
