People, Performance, and an Evolving Workforce

Navigating Workforce Challenges Across Generations in Family Business

Finding the right people is hard. Keeping them is harder. And managing performance while holding your culture together during growth – all while navigating the expectations of multiple generations on the same team — is one of the most pressing challenges in business today.

We will cover what it actually takes to attract and retain the right people, how to approach performance in a way that works, and how to manage the tension that comes with generational differences in the workplace; including shifting expectations around flexibility, accountability, and compensation.

We will also spend time on what it takes to earn trust and create buy-in with a team that includes people who have been there far longer than you have (a reality many next generation leaders are navigating right now).

Bring your challenges, your questions, and opinions on where things stand. Your perspective brings something to the room that others may not have considered. The more openly you share, the richer the conversation becomes for everyone.

Some Takeaways:

• Practical approaches to performance management that are realistic for where your business is today.
• Strategies for attracting the right people in a competitive and cost pressured environment.
• How to retain existing staff while managing rising wage and compensation expectations.
• Navigating generational dynamics and differing expectations around flexibility and accountability.
• Maintaining your culture during periods of growth and change
• Managing a team that spans multiple generations without losing what makes your business work.
• How new leaders can build trust and create buy-in with long tenured senior employees during a leadership transition.
