Multi-Generational Team Tensions: From Stereotypes to Synergy
For the first time in modern history, organizations are navigating up to four generations working side by side. From Gen X leaders who built careers on face time and structured accountability, to Gen Z digital natives demanding radical flexibility and holistic wellbeing, differing workplace norms can easily turn into friction.
Whether it's debates over async communication, return-to-office expectations, or defining what "high performance" actually looks like, generational friction is often less about work ethic and more about competing values, communication styles, and life stages.
Join Reverb and the Seattle HR Collective for an interactive quarterly meetup where we’ll dive beyond stereotypes to address real-world tensions in multi-generational teams.
Together, we will explore:
• Where the Friction Starts: Root causes behind contrasting views on productivity, accountability, flexibility, and wellbeing.
• Recognizing the Signs: How generational misalignment shows up in engagement scores, retention, hybrid work norms, and everyday communication.
• Removing Generational Bias: Unpacking unhelpful assumptions (from "entitled" to "inflexible") to build empathy across cohorts.
• Actionable Solutions: Strategies for HR leaders, managers, and executive coaches to co-create inclusive cultures focused on shared outcomes over rigid processes.
Come ready to connect with Seattle HR peers, share your own experiences, and take away practical frameworks to lead with empathy and drive performance across generations.
Who Should Attend: HR leaders, People Ops professionals, executive coaches, and business leaders navigating hybrid or multi-generational teams.
