All four generations in the workplace today have experienced and see the world differently, and that has led to divergent work objectives and attitudes, frustration, tension and obstacles to productivity. One of the things that worry the more seasoned lawyers about the differences is the effect on professionalism standards and ethics. Will some typical behaviors of Generations Y and X unintentionally breach accepted levels of professionalism and lead to loss of clients and judicial decisions?
In this highly important webcast, a multi-generational panel will discuss challenges and solutions re:
Styles of communicating with colleagues and clients
The most effective management styles for engagement and productivity
Differing behaviors regarding work ethic, time management, autonomy and self-expression
Benefits and pitfalls of social networking
Differing concepts of privacy
and seek solutions that satisfy the generations as well as the profession of law.
WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM ATTENDING THIS PROGRAM?
Attorneys of all generations; practice leaders, chiefs and directors of human resources, professional development, associate relations, marketing and diversity; and others who are concerned with maintaining professional and ethical standards, firm image and reputation while allowing for creativity and new ways of accomplishing firm and individual goals.
