The Working Wounded.

In these economic times, many businesses are closing their doors and/or laying off employees. A great deal of focus is on these displaced workers as they seek unemployment benefits and outplacement assistance. But what about the workers who are left behind? Those who are still working but are wounded? Those who feel the survivor's guilt, are overwhelmed by the added responsibilities, experience the grief of the loss of their co-workers, and the fear that they will be the next to lose their jobs. Studies are already showing that employee theft and acts of violence in the workplace are on the rise. Yet, in a recent survey conducted by SHRM, the ten mostly likely employer budget cuts for 2009 deal with employee morale programs and team-building activities. Companies need to realize that, more than ever, they must continue to support their remaining employees. They need to rethink how they manage during non-prosperous economic times by realizing that employees and employee programs are not liabilities, but assets that are essential to long-term success.
 

Leading with Generational Lenses

Never before in US history have four generations worked together as they do today in the same workplace. These generations, the Matures, Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, and Millennials, bring a distinctly different set of values, motivations, expectations and tensions to work with them. Combine that with the current economic challenges, and businesses are confronted with workplace dynamics that can quite literally make or break them. Today’s leaders have an incredible opportunity to leverage this breadth of perspectives in the workplace elevating them to new discoveries and the potential for long term stability.

Human Element can provide your organization with the generational lenses to navigate those tensions to get to that place of discovery. Pam and Jeff will provide experiential methodologies that will enable your organization to recognize generational differences, ensuring that they are working for you as well as when they are causing your company to stall.

Human Element will help you understand the factors influencing the generations, what they value, and how to lead them in ways that are meaningful to them.  Through these strategies, we will empower your leaders to direct and unleash the rich potential that lies in the midst of the varying perspectives.
