A CBC Radio Canada Interview with Corporate Culture Expert Dr. Kevin Orieux: "Five Generations In the Same Workplace. Cooperatons versus Chaos"

For the first time, there are five generations in the workplace. Unfortunately for senior management and human resource personnel, this is causing chaos in group dynamics and employee interpersonal relationships. All five generations have different employee attitudes, employee mindsets as well as ingrained generational employee behaviours. This new paradigm has created the need for incorporating organizational behaviour training in the skills sets of those involved in corporate management and specifically, in employee management relations. 

Dr. Kevin Orieux is a researcher, author and corporate trainer who has been studying socio-economics and the social psychology of group dynamics in the workplace for thirty years. In this radioo interview he identifies causes of intergenerational angst and how the sociological conditioning of different generations has created workplace disharmony and employee disengagement due to tension with interpersonal relations, then presents viable solutions to stimulate employee motivation based on analyzing what the different demographics expect in terms of workplace satisfaction. 

With Millennials and Gen Z now comprising over 53% of the workplace at a time when the unemployment rate is the lowest in Western history, Dr. Orieux explains factors leading the 100 million strong Great Resignation and what has been labeled by socio-economists as job hopping amongst young adults. These kind of numbers amongst our youngest workers require senior executives to examine their present practices and further, to re-evaluate their traditional management style and executive decision makingif they want to mitigate certain sociological root causes of employee attrition to avoid the expense of hiring and rehiring. 

Using the most recent data, Dr. Orieux maps out how companies can thrive by investing more resources in the health and welfare of their people, including employee training as well as management training to bridge this multi-level generation gap. He then provides compelling reasons why companies need to focus on workplace satisfaction, creating a corporate culture that prioritizes a holistic environment focused on employee well-being, along with the need to rethink issues like the four-day workweek, flexible hours and a progressive move towards more employee autonomy.

Senior management are often perplexed, frustrated and overwhelmed when challenged with the animosity that occurs from different attitudes about work ethic from the different generations that make up their corporate environment. Dr. Orieux is impassioned about dissecting and exposing the causative roots of dysfunctional employee behavior for senior management and teaching a medically based approach to curing corporate disease. His teaching eliminates the stress, anxiety and confusion that is a universal challenge for those in management, as well as training senior leaders to create a sustainable mission minded corporate vision that employees from Generation Z and the Millennials insist on, otherwise they job-hop from one employer to another until they find the kind of corporate culture that resonates with their pursuit of work-life balance. He has great tips for managers on how to improve their corporate culture. Dr. Orieux is a master story teller who uses parables, world history and the Socratic method of teaching that is entertaining, inspiring as well as educational, expounding on the complexities of psychological principles in an everyday vernacular that any manager or team leader can understand. In essence, those who have attended his keynote addresses, corporate training workshops, seminars and lectures have walked away being able to grasp and then implement Dr. Orieux’s sociological and psychological concepts for creating a healthy corporate culture, concepts they have never heard before and certainly never heard in the kind straightforward, simplistic and useful manner that is the hallmark of Dr. Orieux’s teaching model.
