Webcast:
Learn how to develop a culture of collaboration, supported by technology, that can solve traditional HR issues, retain and inspire a multigenerational workforce and connect employees to each other, HR and the organization as a whole. Over the past several years, businesses have become increasingly focused on how to manage the brain drain that will inevitably occur as baby boomers leave the workforce. However, current economic conditions have foiled many retirement plans and boomers are now intending to remain in the workplace longer. Although already experienced today, knowledge extracting and sharing, collaboration across geographically dispersed workforces and employee engagement issues will likely become more intense as organizations face greater employee demographic differences and generational differences in relation to technology. Learn how next generation collaborative practices and technology can solve many of these issues.
