Baby Boomers ExodusThere are 76 million Baby Boomers who could leave the workplace over the next several years. There are far fewer Gen X people and that gap could lead to "brain drain."

In this webinar, Ken Ball and Gina Gotsill from TechProse (Authors of "Surviving The Baby Boomer Exodus") will talk about workforce age demographics, the potential shortage of Boomer successors, and the fact that critical, institutional knowledge is walking out the door without being captured and shared. Many senior managers are kicking the can down the road, putting off the job of creating a system and process for capturing and retaining knowledge.

The webinar will provide a practical action plan for capturing valuable knowledge, skills, and experience so it can be shared among employees of all the generations in the workplace. 

Key Takeaways

  • Methods for assessing a company's knowledge gaps, creating a knowledge transfer plan, and nurturing a culture that encourages knowledge sharing and collaboration will be outlined. 
  • Several scenarios, case studies, tips, and checklists that will help you capture and retain your company's intellectual capital as Baby Boomers leave the workplace will be shared.
  • Methods for crafting an action plan to transfer knowledge from one generation to the next will be discussed
