Linking Generational Diversity to Engagement and Bottom-Line Performance
|
| The four generations (Traditionalist, Baby Boomer, Gen X and Gen Y) demonstrate different behaviors and expectations in the workplace. In order to fully engage each cohort, organizations have to acknowledge the differences, and respond by demonstrating organizational engagement. Generational differences are highlighted and how cohort behaviors and expectations impact the ability to get, keep and grow all four generations will be discussed. Demonstrating organizational engagement (transparent, responsive, partnering) allows organizations to build and execute win-win strategies for all four generations. |
| Presenter: Adwoa K. Buahene, M.A., is co-founder/managing partner of n-gen People Performance Inc. |

Unintentional Intolerance |
|
Research and experience tell us that we all have biases that we are often unaware of, or think little about. Yet, these biases guide our decision-making behaviors and attributions on a daily basis. Could we be making “bad” decisions and engaging in exclusive behavior without knowing? The answer is “Yes.” Dr. Robbins explores the “hows” and “whys” surrounding unintentional intolerance in this eye-opening presentation. |
| Presenter: Steve Robbins, Ph.D., chief "What If?" officer at S.L. Robbins & Associates, engages his audience through a dynamic blend of humor, stories and in-depth knowledge. |

The Ten Lenses – A Next Generational Approach to Managing Cultural Diversity |
The Ten Lenses are 10 patterns of thought and behavior that people have with respect to race, ethnicity, nationality and culture. This workshop helps people to learn about their own individual preferences for the 10 lenses and to better understand the lenses that others use. The goal is to have individuals contribute toward creating an “11th lens” organization – a culture that nourishes and serves the firm’s multicultural employees and clients.
