Pre-Conference Workshop: Inclusion and Belonging: How to Attract, Engage, & Retain a 5-Generation Healthcare Workforce. 

Successfully Blending the Five Generations in today’s orthopedic workplace can be a tall order for any leader. Smart practices/organizations assist all employees, especially leaders, to better understand one another and in so doing, increase productivity. It begins with open and vibrant dialogue and inclusion of all generations. Millennials and Gen. Z get a special and positive nod in this presentation- you’ll see why they’ve earned it in this fun, informative, interactive, and fast paced session. Around the globe and in the U.S., today’s orthopedic employees can have up to 5 different generations working side by side and as patients. Excellences in care and productivity can decrease if your staff doesn’t understand the unique characteristics and talents each person/generation brings. After all, understanding and growing our talent and organizational culture creates opportunities for higher retention and better communications between staff and departments. This is good for everyone including our patients. 
This workshop covers strategic methods of improving employee morale, improving operational efficiency, increasing employee retention, and improving employee productivity; how to find it, how to harness it, and how to keep it. 

Participants will learn proven techniques to: 

• Increase employee retention, inclusion, and attract new candidates to work in-person and remote 
• Increase overall workplace communication, productivity, and satisfaction 
• Improve employee/management engagement of each generation and different cultures 
• Discover the virtual workplace needs, wants, and aspirations of each generation 
• Identify the 7 most powerful actions (compiled from my 5-year study) we can take to successfully integrate generations in the workplace 

If your goal is to support happier, dynamic, more productive employees while also maintaining focus on practice growth, new trends/laws, and a positive workplace culture, this is the workshop for you.
