Managing a Multigenerational and Diverse Workforce

To succeed in an ever-changing and competitive marketplace, organizations must effectively manage all of their human capital. The challenge is how to engage a workforce that is highly diverse, global, and multigenerational.

This course will review the “new normal” demographic and global trends shaping labor markets. You will also learn about challenges you may face when managing workers from different cultures, and others who have different values and preferences. Lastly, you will learn how to create a toolkit for motivating and engaging all workers to help organizations achieve their strategic outcomes.   

This course is offered as a collaboration by IEEE and the Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations.
