Generational Issues in the Workplace
(Asheville, NC): The next
regular meeting of the Western North Carolina Human Resources
Association will be at 12 noon on Wednesday, May 10, at the
Renaissance Asheville Hotel in downtown Asheville.
The presenters for
this program are Sheila Meadows, Human Resources Director for Mission
Hospitals and Anne McClintic, Human Resources Analyst for Mission
Hospitals.
Come explore why so
many people are talking about Generational Differences. Did you know
that there are currently four different generations working
side-by-side in organizations across America? This mixing of
generations has added valuable diversity to the workforce, but also
presents potential challenges and tensions for Human Resource
professionals as workers from different generations try to work
together. In this session, participants will examine the issues
inherent in working in an intergenerational workforce, and identify
effective methods of engaging workers from across generations.
The program is open
to members, students and anyone interested in learning more about
human resource-and management-related issues. Reservations can be
made by emailing Mike Neely at
mneely@ingles-markets.com, or by calling 669-2941, extension 310.
The cost of attending the lunch meeting is $18.00 for members and
students, $22 for nonmembers, and includes lunch (a vegetarian option
is available by request when making reservations).
The Western
North Carolina Human Resources Association is a certified chapter of
the Society for Human Resources Management, and is comprised of human
resource and other professionals from various area businesses and
industries. The purpose of the association is to develop the
personnel function in each participating company by close contact and
cooperation with others in the same field, to facilitate the
dissemination of information of value to human resource professionals
individually and collectively, and to promote positive human relations
principles.
