“What happens when the current workforce of registered nurses, 50 years and over, exit the workforce? Will the loss of knowledge be devastating to organizational performance and productivity? What are the implications for quality and patient safety?”1

As generations move closer to retirement, more is lost than just the years of experience of those seasoned employees. There is a potential to lose knowledge in the workplace that will sustain the performance of the organization.

Furthermore, there is a potential to lose the skills of those highly educated workers, resulting in a labor shortage because of the difficulty to fill those roles.

The key is to be able to transfer the knowledge of those experienced employees to the younger generation that is entering the workforce to continue the efficiency of the organizational operations and objectives.

Karen Hill, Vice President and Nurse Executive for Central Baptist Hospital, discusses with Human Resources IQ how to partner Baby Boomers and Gen Ys to execute knowledge transfer in the workforce.

This presentation will:

  • Identify the characteristics and work ethics between all generations
  • Determine individuals within your workforce who have knowledge critical for success
  • Suggest models for sustaining a highly skilled workforce within your organization
  • Communicate strategies for measuring the success of initiatives to successfully transfer knowledge between generations
