What’s This Even Mean? (from The Future of Work™)
The speed of communication is increasing and changing. This happens at all levels whether it’s face-to-face, online, text, email, video, phone... It’s happening all the time, everywhere, and impacts every generation. When we have generational differences, it’s easy to have misunderstandings and miscommunication… because we won’t all communicate in the same way.

When the Boss Calls a Meeting… (from The Future of Work™)
When generational communication differences cause misunderstandings about things like work requirements and work/life balance, what do you do? Our generational differences do influence our views about authority, and hierarchy. They also impact the things we say and how we say them. Many organizations have inherited traditional structures and practices that are rooted in militaristic approaches popular in the past. Using the M.E.E.T.® model is like having a coach helping us through the process. That way we create shared understanding, new agreements, and clear expectations.

The Future of Work™ Generations in the Workplace
SOLLAH EXCLUSIVE!
Each generation brings its own unique work styles and expectations to the workplace, based on common experiences many of them share. Generational influences - like parenting styles, the pandemic, war, the economy, global impacts, popular culture and other defining moments or events - contribute to generational characteristics that are brought into the workplace. To have an inclusive workplace, you have to be intentional and willing to listen to others, gain perspectives, and make adjustments, with the ultimate goal of staying connected… across generations.

What Did I Say? (from The Future of Work™)
During a team meeting, you had an employee or staff member who uses a disrespectful word without realizing it. What do you do? Shaming and blaming can get in the way of our learning... and our relationships. That means we need to know how to recognize, respond, and recover when something we say, hear or observe is offensive or has a harmful impact on others. That’s what inclusion in action means… taking intentional actions to stay connected and support belonging.

Inclusion is making sure everyone has an opportunity to fully participate in the workplace – to be on the team. Inclusion is about recognizing and responding to the needs of all employees. It’s talking about co-workers in a supportive way, rather than criticizing them behind their backs. Most importantly, inclusion is about making sure work assignments and activities, including work-related social events, do not exclude or disadvantage anyone.

That Was the Most Bizarre Meeting! (from The Future of Work™)
Ageism has to do with people being discounted because of their age… being seen as too young or too old. Treating people differently in employment based on things like age can be unlawful. Bias based on age is a reality. Examples of age-related bias are coded comments such as someone is “set in their ways,” or “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” Being passed over for opportunity - assumptions such as older workers don’t understand technology and that younger workers are immature - are all examples of bias at work.
