Scott Zimmer Profile
A proud Gen Xer, Scott has been one of BridgeWorks' generational keynote speakers for the past eight years. His presentations illustrate the common clashes and misunderstandings between generations, and provide straightforward solutions to help companies bridge generational gaps around communication and collaboration, recruitment and retention, diversity and inclusion, and most recently, hybrid work.

Scott believes customization is the key to a successful session, so he works hard to understand each of his client's specific needs.

Scott used his love of nostalgia and pop culture (he was a big fan of Atari and He-Man) and generational expertise to develop BridgeWorks' generational trivia show, GenPop.

Scott grew up on a dairy farm in central Minnesota where he mastered the art of bailing hay and milking cows. He graduated from St. John's University in 2000 with a BA in communications.

In addition to researching and presenting, Scott is a self-proclaimed movie-buff and is always game to try the latest restaurant or craft beer hotspot.

Recruiting and Retention

Recruiting and Retention
According to the Labor Department, a record 4 million people quit their jobs in April 2021, starting what is called The Great Resignation, and it's affecting companies large and small. Ever changing expectations from each generation in the workplace is adding up to a challenge for managers, who need to think differently about how to mentor and coach their team members effectively as they either return to the office or continue to work remotely.

47% of HR professionals said retention was the top talent management challenge.. Employee turnover is expensive and time consuming. When employees don't find the flexibility, or workplace culture they desire, they will leave and go to organizations that better align with their needs. We deliver strategies on retaining top talent across generations.

Hybrid Work

Hybrid Work
As offices reopen, many organizations are planning for a hybrid workplace. Some employees will work from home; others will head back to the office; still others will combine the two. Flexibility is the name of the game. Managing expectations across generations is key to maintaining productivity and workplace culture.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
In an era where it's necessary to focus on racial, ethnic, gender, or similar lenses of diversity, there is a tendency to overlook how much our generational identity informs us about all aspects of our human dynamic. Our goal is to create unity across our differences to create workplaces where every generation feels valued, respected, and understood.

Gen Z the most diverse generation in U.S. history. For them, diversity, equity, and inclusion is not a perk, it's a baseline expectation. Leaders who intentionally design a culture of inclusivity across their teams increase productivity, encourage innovation, motivate engagement and improve retention.
