Baby Boomers

Each #generation brings unique values to the workplace, and managers and leaders who understand, communicate, motivate, train, and retain multiple generations simultaneously are highly sought throughout the business community. You now know that #you are one of those leaders!

A multigenerational workforce leaves no one and nothing behind and this week, we continue the discussion by discovering the #BabyBoomer, a tireless group of workers who are not risk adverse.

What makes them tick

They are incredibly ambitious and understand self-worth.

How to motivate and reward them

The Boomers value career ambition and financial success; thus, the concept of work/life integration is a challenge. They enjoy insight into opportunities for career development. This willingness to assume risk allows them to serve in higher level positions and to share knowledge, skills, and abilities. Status symbols and promotions motivate the Boomers. They tend to take performance reviews as a necessary evil.

How to ensure that they are not left behind

Group decision-making is important; rigid management styles do not work to their advantage. Many are high achievers and willing to work long hours. Remember that they enjoyed status as the dominant generation in terms of numbers for quite some time and they are accustomed to shaping the workplace. The Boomers use a guarded communication style and are commanding thinkers and great leaders. They are thinking ahead and appreciate flexible working conditions, added benefits, and for some retirement, or preferment options. What’s preferment? #Preferment is remaining on the job as long as they like and not seeking an early retirement; it is their preference that drives their productivity.

Demographics define a generation, and generations enhance the workplace in multiple ways, including but certainly not limited to:

• Passion for corporate culture
• Commitment to inclusivity
• Shared respect
• Increased outputs
• Competitive spirit
• Improvements in engagement and morale
• Enhanced retention rates

Do multiple generations enhance or inhibit teamwork? Without a doubt, a multigenerational workforce is more flexible and encourages input from many team members. They are innovative and creative, leaving no one and nothing behind. Isn’t that what we all need and want—a workforce that is collaborative, promotes ideation and recognizes its members?

Yes, there are five #generations in the workplace!

Who are they?
• Traditionalists
• Baby Boomers
• Generation X
• Generation Y
• Generation Z

We know that each generation brings unique values to the workplace and that managers and leaders who understand, communicate, motivate, train, and retain multiple generations simultaneously are highly sought throughout the business community. Are #you one of those leaders?

A multigenerational workforce leaves no one and nothing behind. Let’s start by exploring the TRADITIONALISTS, who are the “comeback kids” of today. A growing number of seasoned workers have postponed retirement to return to work. Think about how they were raised; a typical traditionalist was told to be seen and not heard, was held to the “rule of the road/household” and was goal-driven. I say typically because I, for one, was not typical. There were no “rules” in my house growing up; along with my siblings, we raised ourselves, and yes, we were goal-driven, although each of our respective goals was different. For LinkedIn, we’ll generalize, knowing full well that many of you are also atypical.

What makes them tick?

Comfortable with conformity, they may be concerned about not pulling their weight due to unfamiliarity with technology. You may be surprised; they have the proverbial 10-year-old in their lives who can bring them up to par. They have a strong work ethic and are company-driven.

How to motivate and reward them

Known for loyalty and a willingness to help others, they are motivated by job titles and corresponding compensation. Positive feedback and performance reviews drive loyalty.

How to ensure that they are not left behind

They may find today’s workplace too casual and less formal. Provide opportunities for face-to-face conversations and recognize that they still “pick up the phone.” Engage them by recognizing their knowledge and experience; offer internal mentorship programs that allow the traditionalists to share their wisdom.

Top five tips for managing this group and your entire multigenerational workforce:

  1. Communicate using a variety of tools
  2. Recognize that at all times, everyone is both student and teacher
  3. Acknowledge expertise, ideation, and initiative
  4. Assemble diverse teams based on skills sets and not age
  5. Embrace your people and their purpose by celebrating differences and valuing the individual

CareLinx by Sharecare introduces clinical advisory board of national nursing leaders

I was ahead of my time and on the cutting-edge of homecare long before the concept became popular.  I was ahead of my time and developed diverse homecare programs for the VNA of Dallas, TransMed Division of HCA, a Medical-School based outpatient clinic, and multiple acute care hospitals. Now, I am again ahead of the game by aligning with @carelinxbysharecare as a member of the newly-appointed #clinicaladvisoryboard. 

Peruse the announcement below, and join me in congratulating the other members of our new board, each of whom will contribute to growth, care delivery, outcomes, and safety. #carelinx IS the CUTTING EDGE, and I am so proud to be involved!

ATLANTA – April 26, 2022 – Sharecare (Nasdaq: SHCR), the digital health company that helps people manage all their health in one place, today announced the creation of a clinical advisory board for its home health platform and network of caregivers, #CareLinx by Sharecare.

Composed of nursing leaders representing private practice, academia, government, the private sector, and the military, the board will provide strategic advice on how to equip nurse-caregivers with the tools, resources, and community support to sustain a rewarding career in home health. As the increasingly complex care needs of an aging population meet a nursing workforce that is projected to experience high turnover in the coming years, these experts will help Sharecare’s home health business foster a rewarding workplace culture for highly qualified professionals at all levels of nursing by offering expanded support with licensing, training, networking, continuing education, content, and more.

“The nursing leaders who make up CareLinx by Sharecare’s new clinical advisory board represent some of the most respected talent in the industry, and we’re excited to have them join us as we position ourselves as a key partner to support nurses in developing fulfilling career paths,” said Sherwin Sheik, head of home health at Sharecare. “Building on our recent growth, we’re committed to creating a community that will empower our caregivers, help them develop as professionals and, in turn, provide exceptional high-touch clinical care to our members.”

In addition to its focus on recruitment and retention, the board will help shape CareLinx by Sharecare’s clinical care offering, ensuring the development of tech-enabled home care plans are informed by the highest-quality evidence and latest best practices.

“The expertise, thoughtfulness, and influence of CareLinx by Sharecare’s clinical advisory board are critical resources as we strive to create a home for the exceptional nursing talent of today and tomorrow,” said Donna Hill Howes, RN, MS, Sharecare’s chief nursing officer. “Representing all levels of nursing and an array of sectors, our board members bring a wealth of experience that will put CareLinx by Sharecare on the cutting edge of delivering care in the home.”

The members of the board are:

With an exclusive offering for AARP members and key partnerships with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs through the Elizabeth Dole Foundation and several of the largest health plans in the U.S., over 1.5 million Medicare Advantage members have access to CareLinx by Sharecare for free through their health plans.

I invite you to discover #carelinxbysharecare and partner with us to ensure best practices, an engaged nursing workforce, and great outcomes!

Holidays and Happy Days

What a year it has been!

With the overwork and overwhelm associated with the pandemic and a redesign of holiday traditions over the past 20 months, this is an ideal time to examine Holidays and Happy Days going forth. What traditions changed for you in 2020? Were you socially distanced and away from family and friends for birthdays, major holidays like Thanksgiving, and New Year’s? How did you welcome 2021, with open arms and a clean slate, or with the memories of a horrific year?

Thanksgiving is so much more than turkey, fixings, and a football game. Thanksgiving is about family values and gatherings. If we cannot gather, how do we celebrate? We discovered ways in which to celebrate in 2021 with virtual dinners, small, but limited, group meetings. The holiday looked different, and so did Hanukkah, which was remote and lively. So too will Christmas and New Year’s be unique experiences!  Facetime played a big part in celebrations, adding the ability to connect in real-time.  What can we do to ensure safety as well as quality time with those near and dear to us this holiday season and beyond?

  • Define expectations – discuss safety precautions and make efforts to reduce risk. Ask for adherence to masking and social distancing
  • Adhere to guidelines – keep everyone safe with masks, vaccination, cleaning surfaces, handwashing, and taking a raincheck if you are not well 
  • Create new ways to enjoy the holidays – become a “pod” with your family only in a single household gathering, or meet at a distance using one of the platforms readily available 
  • Safe travels – stay at home if possible; practice precautions, and if needed postpone your holiday

We’ve been blessed to have the opportunity to collaborate with new colleagues throughout Western Europe, North America, and beyond. This year we’ve expanded our network, relationships, and our outputs. It’s been a pleasure to present over 75 programs virtually to pharma, health care, and medical device professionals throughout the world.

Get to know us at https://sharonmweinstein.com. Reach out for a complimentary copy of my brand new book entitled Are You Ready to Reignite Your Life? Find and keep the spark alive.

We’ve found and kept our spark alive!

I recall a year in which we postponed our family’s Hanukkah celebration until January; this was years before the current pandemic, but due to a family member’s illness, it was just not possible. When we did enjoy the festivities the following January, we were so grateful for the chance to be together again. As you make plans to celebrate holidays and happy days with those near and dear to you, think about expectations, guidelines, creative ways to enjoy one another, and safety. May the New Year be one of joy, blessings, and good health – the greatest blessing of all. 

We thank you for inviting us to be a part of your 2021 events (virtually or hybrid), and we welcome the chance to collaborate with you again in 2022!

Happy Holidays; Happy Days are ahead!
