Workshop based on scenarios
- Attendee-driven scenarios
For the workshop, attendees are encouraged to think of situations they've dealt with that might be good "case studies" to discuss together. For example, almost everyone has probably seen a performance management situation go awry. Let's work through these and see where we can get better at avoiding those problems. Or maybe you have a situation where you weren't 100% sure your company handled the situation correctly. Let's talk about it together.
To help you think of some scenarios: Think about performance management situations you've dealt with at your company. What kinds of situations lead to inconsistency in discipline, bonuses, or other aspects of employment. Or maybe think of scenarios where documentation concerning a situation was key and the specifics of that documentation either saved you or hurt you. Maybe you want to review a policy that your company has and you'd like to see what everyone else thinks about it. Provide a scenario explaining how the policy is used at your company.
See you there!

This program will explain the different sets of expectations for each generation and illustrate techniques to bridge the generational gap within your company. The program will identify four different generational groups, and describe the personality traits of each. The program will also explore recruitment, training, management, retention, and communication issues among the generations to best meet the needs of your organization.
