2023 ACA Orlando Program Book_Winter Conference

A-1I PLENARY SESSION

I n today’s workforce, five generations must work together to accomplish goals. Different behaviors and outlooks among employees born at distinct times require unique approaches in human resource management. Corrections administrators need to know the differences among generations, especially in perceptions of staff wellness. Correctional leaders must understand how each generation wants to be motivated towards their own sense of wellness. This plenary will discuss how corrections can approach generational differences in the workplace by better understanding a staff wellness perspective each generation seeks. By identifying and addressing the similarities and differences across generational lines, corrections can realize the benefits of multigenerational workforces. Generational Differences in theWorkplace: Staff Wellness Perspectives Saturday, Jan. 28, 2023 • 8–9:30 a.m. • Grand Ballroom 9/10/11
