About the Session
Bridging Generational Perspectives to Build an Inclusive Workplace
presented by Taylor Stokes, DEIB Coordinator, Merion Mercy Academy
As today's workplaces become increasingly multigenerational, DEIB leaders must navigate differing values, communication styles, and perspectives on the work. This interactive workshop explores how generational experiences shape approaches to DEIB and offers practical strategies for engaging stakeholders across all generations.
Participants will understand the generational approaches to work, learn how to bridge generational differences, foster meaningful dialogue, address resistance with empathy, and leverage the unique strengths of each generation to build a more collaborative work life culture and classroom environment. Attendees will leave with actionable tools they can immediately apply to strengthen DEIB efforts within their teams and institutions.
