Today’s workplaces can have up to five generations side by side. Each generation brings unique experiences, expectations, and communication styles. For Hawaii employers, this mix can be both a challenge and an opportunity.

The challenge lies in managing differences that can easily lead to friction. The opportunity, however, is even greater. A multigenerational team brings a wider range of perspectives, deeper knowledge, and innovative ideas fueled by fresh viewpoints. By leveraging these strengths, organizations can unlock creativity, improve collaboration, and achieve better business results.

At HEC, we're dedicated to identifying the challenges our members face in their organizations each day.  Employers want tools, not just theories. They want actionable strategies they can bring back to their teams immediately.

That’s why we’re hosting Leading Generations in the Workplace: Special In-Person Workshop & Live Panel Experience on Oct. 7, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Hawaii Employers Council. This three-hour program combines interactive learning with real-world insights.

• Interactive learning: Hands-on activities exploring generational dynamics
• Real-world insights: Live panel with professionals from four different generations
• Practical strategies: Tools you can apply right away

The session will be led by Liz Graves, HEC Trainer in Talent & Organizational Development, who brings expertise in instructional design and a passion for helping employees grow.

For leaders, HR professionals, and business owners alike, this is an opportunity to move beyond stereotypes and learn how to lead a workforce that is stronger because of its differences.

Generational diversity is not a hurdle to overcome—it’s a resource to be tapped. The organizations that thrive in the years ahead will be the ones that see the value in every generation and create workplaces where all can succeed.
