There are now six generations of employees in today’s workplace. Are you ready for Gen Z?
Nationally recognized communication skills consultant, trainer and coach, former Salem area resident Deborah Easton will present “Generations Working Together” from 1 to 4 p.m. Aug. 17 at 鶹ý at Salem, 2491 State Route 45 S.
According to Easton, understanding the origins of each generation’s definition of work ethic, good customer service, working methods, expectations of management and teamwork, is crucial to a company’s success.
