November Meeting
Generations in the Workplace:
Conflict or Collaboration?
Sharon Lovoy
Lovoys Teamworks
Managers are discovering that the different generations often are frustrated with one another.
There are now four different generations in the
workplace. Now that they are mixed, can they be
managed and why should employers care if the
generations work and play well together? Sharon Lovoy will take us through this discussion so
that we see what each generation has to offer.
Sharon has over 25 years experience in the field of
Human Resources Management and Development. She has over 250 clients including Mercedes Benz USI, The Southern Company, Energen, Lockheed Martin, Vulcan Industries, Alfa,
Alagasco, and The University of Alabama.
Attendance

the October meeting and

perfect attendance. There
