Events: Unite and Ignite: Bringing Generations Together at Work

2010-08-26T14:00:03Z

Until recently, the most critical human resource issue facing our workplaces was Baby Boomer retirement. “How,” we wondered, “will we ever replace all those Boomers?”

Today, circumstances have shifted. Boomers are pushing back retirement by an average of four years, creating a whole new set of generational dynamics in the workplace.

In this two-part session, Rebecca Ryan will lead participants in a series of discussions, activities, and lectures, in which they’ll learn:

The characteristics of their own generation, plus its similarities or differences with other generations at work
An historical perspective of generations in society; “Was the economic collapse predicted, based on the generations alive today?”
The pain points when generations collide
The legacy that each generation will (likely) leave on the American workplace
How teams are using intergenerational collaboration to create more powerful and energized teams
How “next gen” friendly their workplace is
The Top 5 Do’s and Don’ts for working in an intergenerational team
The four words that set the tone for unity (or disunity) among generations at work

Events: Talent - Attracting, Retaining, and Growing the next generation of workers

2010-07-22T20:00:32Z

Experts agree that “Quality of Life” is critical to your city’s ability to retain and attract mobile, knowledge workers. As we enter a new era in which cities have fewer resources, civic and economic development leaders must remember what, or rather “who” cities are for, and make smart, contemporary choices to endear them to generations to come.

In this dynamic presentation, audiences will learn about Next Generation Consulting’s extensive research on “Next Cities” - places that have the attributes to become knowledge-based talent magnets - and will help cities gather momentum for “The New Normal.” This presentation addresses three key questions that will determine the future of our cities:

Why does the next generation of talent matter?
What is the next generation of talent looking for in a city?
How can your community design a clear, authentic strategy to attract and retain talent?

Through Their Eyes: How Next Gen Leaders See the Firm of the Future

Are your high potentials going to stick around when the economy recovers, or are they already daydreaming about better opportunities at other firms? Is your firm managing its talent properly to both sustain itself through the recession and position it for growth as new accounting regulations create market opportunities?

In this presentation, Rebecca Ryan will share:

What really attract high potentials to your firm. (It’s not money.)
The gap between what partners THINK their high potentials want, and what top talent really value.
How “high potential” programs often fail, and how to re-engineer them more effectively.
A three-step process to keep your top talent engaged, as the job market reheats.

Ms. Ryan will also discuss where new “wars for talent” may emerge, as regulations increase the need for CPA firm’s services.
