UPEI’s Centre for Life-long Learning offers workshop called ‘Inspiring a Multi-Generational Workforce’
The Centre for Life-Long Learning (CLLL) at UPEI is bringing solutions to a nationwide trend as it offers a workshop entitled “Inspiring a Multi-Generational Workforce” on April 9 on the campus.
Designed for those who seek to learn more about managing a multi-generational workforce, this workshop will bring new approaches to working with teams made up of members from all generations. The characteristics and expectations of the different generations found within a workplace call for innovative strategies. This one-day workshop will inspire owner/managers to use generation-friendly methods to encourage excellence among team members.
The workshop will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., in Main Building on the UPEI campus, 550 University Avenue, Charlottetown. The cost is $195.00.
Sherry Pelkey, of the Marrek Group, the trainer for this session, says “For the first time in history, we have four generations working side by side. Each generation has different values and work ethics. How do you get everyone on your team understanding one another and working together? Each person needs to respect the ideas and thoughts of the other person, no matter what the generation. This one-day workshop provides participants with strategies and leadership techniques to effectively motivate and inspire work team members from all generations.”
Jeanette MacAulay, Director of the CLLL, comments, “We are reminded on a daily basis that one of the keys to finding and retaining good staff is to provide a stimulating, supportive work environment. We are offering this workshop to directly assist management in creating a compelling workplace with highly engaged workers of all ages.”
