One of Canada's oldest institutions is grappling with how best to manage some of its youngest workers — and the negative perceptions some staff members have of them.
The Senate of Canada has a training course on offer titled "Working with Millennials." It's a webinar aimed at getting older Senate employees to confront their stereotypes about this age cohort — especially the belief that, according to the wording on the Senate website, millennials are "entitled praise-seekers who are easily distracted by technology."
The one-hour course, which was offered as recently as last month, is designed to manage what the Senate calls one of the "greatest challenges" in the workplace — "negative stereotyping in multi-generational teams" — according to the description posted on the Senate's human resources portal.
