    • Unlocking the Competitive Advantage of a Multigenerational Workplace by Ashlee J. Davis, Cargill
    For the first time in modern history, the American workforce comprises five generations working side by side. Statistics show that this newly recognized multigenerational workforce has caused organizational behavior changes and unprecedented levels of workplace tension. To successfully manage and motivate a workforce that can easily range in age from 18 to 80, organizations, and the leaders and teams within them, need to understand the culture, principles, and other factors that create a welcoming workplace for generations to achieve their goals both individually and collectively. At this session, explore recently released research data, common multigenerational workplace problems, and the tools you need to realize the ultimate competitive advantage that a multigenerational workplace offers.
    • Empowering Employees to be their Authentic Selves at Work by Deirdre Walsh, Silicon Labs
    Despite workplaces focusing on diversify and inclusion, many individuals feel the need to downplay or disassociate part of their identity to avoid potential bias, which is known as covering. In fact, 75 percent of individuals feel the need to cover in the workplace, which can have serious repercussions on an organization's innovation and productivity. Join Deirdre Walsh, the director of Marketing and Communications at Silicon Labs, as she discusses the importance of helping employees be their authentic selves at work.
  • Wednesday, May 22nd
