Carla Rea, ASSE Home office
Generational Synergy, "Hay Gramps, I want the day off!"
Better learn how to deal with each generation before it is too late!

Close the Gap: Generational Aptitude Progressive Training  

The Good ‘Ole Days are gone and the workplace is ever-changing. In the next two years, the workplace will have four generations in fully active roles for the first time in U.S. history. Do you think that might accelerate the change? You bet it will! How much do you know about your present and future co-workers? Isn’t it time to learn?

Carla Rea has been the Manager of Chapter Services for the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) for the past two years. In her nine plus years in association work, she has gained experience in the areas of chapter services, educational services, member services, international, publication development and purchasing, supervision, web site coordination and volunteer recruitment and retention. She obtained a BA degree from Columbia College in Chicago and an MBA with a concentration in International Business from Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois. Most recently, Ms. Rea earned recognition from the American Society of Association Executives by being designated a Certified Association Executive (CAE). Ms. Rea has presented various programs at national, regional and local meetings for ASSE, Association Forum of Chicagoland, and the American Society of Association Executives.

Carla Rea, CAE

: $45 / Non-Members: $60Five Generations

In the next two years, the workplace will have five complete generations in the workplace. This is a first in U.S. and World History. The past has shown that two to three generations struggle to get along, what will happen with five? Can people take advantage of the variety of resources in the workplace and find a new way to approach work?

YES!  Education is the Key!

The best way to learn how to work with people of differing generations is to learn more about the influences on each generation. We learned their wants and needs, their definitions of work ethic, volunteerism and leadership development. There at least three strategies for cross-generational leadership development to use in your workplace, your volunteer efforts, and your home.

The ways that people view the world are formed very early in life. There are a variety of influences that affect our attitudes, values and priorities during our formative years. They include:

• The number of people born during a specified time period

• Structure of the family unit

• The work ethic

• Definition of “duty”

• Current events/Living history

• Pop culture

• Technology

A group of individuals who share common interest in many of these areas are commonly known as a generation. Today’s generational breakdown is:

Title                              Born between:

Pre-Boomers            1922-1944

Baby Boomers         1945-1959

Cuspers                    1960-1969

Busters                     1970-1978

Netsters                    1979-1985 Do You
