Engaging a Changing Workforce Workshop MaterialsEngaging a Changing Workforce Participant Book

The participant book is a rich, comprehensive resource to use in the workshop and back on the job. It contains vital information about each workplace generation, key characteristics, workplace behaviors and actions that need to be on every Manager’s “to-do” list.

A timeline that describes the key events and experiences that define a generation and the influences that shaped each of the four generations is displayed on the inside front and back covers.

The book guides participants through the workshop activities with ample space for taking notes and recording best practices. Most important it includes skill building activities and a planning format so participants can immediately take action. Each participant leaves with a number of action oriented checklists. The checklists are organized with easy to implement ideas for each generation. The book is an essential workshop tool.

eTickets

The eTickets are designed to jump start thinking and provide 38 practical ways (strategies and ideas) managers can boost engagement. The beauty of the tickets is that they are easily flexed and adapted across generations and it is the “workshop dialogue” that allows participants to see how the ideas can be easily implemented. The eTicket card deck is an essential workshop tool.
