This engaging and humourous session will examine and contrast the work-related values of Canadian
demographic cohorts: the Baby Boom, Bust and Echo. Focusing primarily on recruitment and retention
strategies, this presentation will map the characteristics of different demographic cohorts and explore techniques effective in connecting with a multigenerational workforce. Discussion will include the challenges of collaborating in the work place to optimize the unique gifts and contributions of each group and will extend to
include performance evaluation strategies and orientation programming.
