Professional Development

Sand Harbor State Park

Gen Z, Gen X and Millennials, Oh My!


For the first time in our history, we have 5 different generations working in the same workplace. Each brings its own assets and liabilities. As leaders of America’s State Parks what should you expect, what do your future employees expect, how do we adjust to a changing work environment, stay relevant and move our organization forward with the mission of state parks?

Dr. Lauren Duffey, Associate Professor at Clemson University will discuss the ever-changing work force and the expectations of the next generation of park leaders, and how it may be necessary for current leaders to adjust and adapt to recruit and retain employees.
