FIVE different generations are employed in today’s workplace – bringing together a powerful mix of expertise – but also raising important management issues.
Established and emerging digital technologies have supercharged the world of work and created slicker ways of operating. These changes have brought with them risks and rewards and firms are being urged to review their systems, keep talking to their team and protect their business by updating their policies.
Often younger employees are very tech-savvy, but just starting out on their careers. Others may have spent many years working across a range of sectors, but who may still be trying to get to grips with digital techniques.  
33% of people put face-to-face communications first, 35% prefer text messaging and 29% of employees use the Internet and mobile phones i.e. email, social media etc. as the main communication tools. 
In a drive to help businesses benefit from the digital technologies, Octagon Technology, B&G HR, along with the Yorkshire Psychology Service, have teamed-up to stage an informative seminar.  
Expert speakers include:

Carole Broad and David Grech, B&G HR - The rising trend of employees working remotely and taking their own electronic devices into meetings (often termed Bring Your Own Device – or BYOD) has created important issues for both workers and employers. If you want to monitor your employees you should be clear about the purpose of that. Putting an effective BYOD policy in place has many benefits but will have an impact on other important HR documents.
