Learning and Development for a Multigenerational Workforce

As the topic of age diversity in the workplace becomes increasingly important, this book is the first to show how organizations can provide learning and development opportunities and activities for a mixed generational workforce, and how to deal with the issues arising from such a strategy. Going beyond the theory, the book uncovers how learning and development for a multigenerational workforce works in practice and provides case studies throughout. Key themes include: * how organizations can determine the learning and development needs of a multigenerational workforce, and the psychology of learning for different groups; * how a strategy for learning and development for a mixed generation workforce can be established and delivered; * the resource implications of this provision and how organisations dealing with them to ensure flexibility; and * how the outcomes and impact of such provision can be measured. With both research-based and practical content, the book is suitable for both Master's level programmes in HRM and HRD, and for learning and development professionals.
