Connect Managers and Millennials with Culinary Team Building

Bridging the generational divide between these two groups is becoming critical for corporate success. It’s an issue that every senior manager needs to address. Culinary team building events tailored for both groups are the perfect solution.

Differences Between Boomers and Millennials

In the 1960s and ‘70s dinner family dinners were the one time the family could focus on each other and have a bit of time together. By the time the 1990s rolled around, kids grabbed dinner at the counter and went back to studying. Maybe that’s why millennials now place greater value on collaboration and social activities. This is but one example of differences between the two generations.

The age gap and cultural divide aren’t the only differences between the two groups. When Entrepreneur polled millennial employees and their baby boom supervisors, millennials put a greater emphasis on the importance of “team” and “culture” building activities. This generation understands the value of interaction. This may not always be apparent, but millennials are committed to building strong, professional interpersonal relationships.

Some managers are aware of this underlying need to connect among their younger employees, but may struggle to build connections with their team. Relationships with millennials should be genuine and deeper than just a casual business relationship. Many baby boomer managers may have learned this the hard way. At Team Building with Taste, we offer a highly effective method for bridging the gap between management and millennials employees through our culinary team building programs.

Millennials are the “Foodie Generation”

For many reasons, the millennial generation has been nicknamed the “Foodie Generation”. In all things, millennials were shaped by the digital age they grew up in. Because of this, it is a popular practice amongst millennials to post images of food to their Instagram or Snapchat. Many millennials are also avid watchers of cooking competition shows and follow foodie YouTube channels.
