Description

Five generations now share the healthcare workplace, each shaped by different experiences and expectations. These differences can either create tension or build strength, depending on how teams communicate. This session gives healthcare professionals practical tools to bridge generational gaps, strengthen teamwork, and improve both morale and patient care.

Attendees will learn:
• How to understand and adapt to generational communication styles.
• How to turn differences into strengths that improve daily workflow.
• How to build connection and collaboration across every level of the team.
