2025 Thought Leadership: They Not Like Us: Exploring a Multigenerational Workplace
April 15, 2025 @ 1:00 pm – 2:15 pm EDT
The world that we live in today is informed by our lived experiences which are likely formed through the identities that we hold. We often speak about identity in terms of culture, ethnicity, faith practice, gender, or even sexuality, but we rarely consider how age or generational differences also have a large role in shaping how we see the world. Join Ebony Ramsey, Ph.D., for a candid dialogue around how multigenerational dynamics illuminate the ways that we need to be prepared for the future of work.
