* How do I write a resume?

3. Coaching Across the Generations
Gen Y, Gen X, BabyBoomers Is your workplace struggling with generational issues as:
* younger managers assume positions over older workers?
* mature age workers express their resentment at feeling marginalized?
* GenY staff rebel and leave when their expectations are not met?
* mature age workers struggle with technology, the pressure of workloads or physical challenges?
Differences in values, skills, expectations, and tolerance underpin this emerging issue, highlighted by media coverage of research into Generation Y.
However, there is a skills shortage -already critical for many industries- and one that's not going to be resolved in the short-term. You need to keep all your staff. You need all staff to work together amicably and productively.
Jennifer can help:
* you as a manager to understand and handle generational issues
* mature age workers to handle their own 'generational issues' and find solutions for maintaining their productivity at work
