Join the Life in Government Community
The Life in Government Community is a collaborative space designed for Apolitical members to connect with peers in the global public service and ask and answer questions on life in government.
Event Description
Baby boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z. The modern workforce has never been more multigenerational, and each brings different values, communication styles and expectations to the workplace.
This diversity can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts if not managed well. But bridging the generational gap isn’t just about avoiding conflict — it’s about building a workplace where experience meets fresh ideas, and where different perspectives strengthen decision-making.
This event will unpack strategies for fostering collaboration, strengthening teams and improving outcomes in a multigenerational public service. Whether you’re a leader managing diverse teams or a public servant eager to share your perspective, join us to explore how generational diversity can be a strength.
