Disengagement across generations stems from various factors, such as misaligned values, differing communication styles, lack of recognition, limited opportunities for career development and insufficient support for work-life balance. But solving these problems can look different for learners of different generations. By exploring the needs of each generation, we’ll discuss innovative and immersive learning approaches to cultivate a more inclusive and engaging work environment.

In this interactive session, Ellen Burns-Johnson, lead learning strategist at ELB Learning, will guide participants to overcome biases associated with generations and develop inclusion strategies that can reduce turnover, increase knowledge sharing, expand partnerships and heighten employee engagement.

In this session, participants will:

• Understand the needs and concerns of each generation.
• Gain skills and strategies to engage and train each generation.
• Learn how immersive and game-based learning increases participation and knowledge retention.
