Episode 3 is live!
From the Mall’s third episode examines the multigenerational workplace. How do we address our differences at work, and why are we so quick to react negatively associate labels and stereotypes to colleagues who happened to be much older (or much younger) than us? There are five generations of people working together and Creighton associate professor Leah Georges, PhD, BA’06, shares her expertise on all of the dynamics at play.
