Join us for an enlightening panel discussion that explores the unique opportunities and challenges of leading a multigenerational workforce in the metals industry.

Our panel, comprising representatives from various generations and career stages, will delve into the generational differences in work expectations, the transformation required to attract and retain younger talent, and the advantages of fostering collaboration across age groups.

For the first time in history, many workplaces span six generations—from the octogenarians of the Silent Generation, who remain in key leadership roles, to the teenagers of Generation Alpha, who are embarking on their first summer jobs and internships. In between are the Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y (often called Millennials), and Generation Z.

We will address the struggles and tensions that arise when younger hires challenge traditional practices and underscore the importance of creating an inclusive environment that accommodates diverse needs and work styles. The discussion will also tackle issues of diversity and inclusion, including combating misogynistic attitudes and avoiding age discrimination.

By highlighting the benefits of a multigenerational workforce, such as driving innovation and leveraging diverse skill sets, this session will offer fresh insights and actionable strategies for cultivating a dynamic and harmonious workplace in the metals industry. Don’t miss this opportunity to discover how to turn generational diversity into a powerful asset.
