HR etc!! programs integrate classroom instruction with experiential learning techniques for maximum skill transference and retention. Below is a listing of our current programs.

Available Workshops:


Tapping into the Wisdom of the Ages

For the first time in history, four generations are working side by side. These generations are rewriting the rules and reinventing themselves and most organizations are missing their cues. Having a mindset shift that utilizes the best thinking from all ages and leverages opportunities that can only come from cross-generational innovation, will allow senior employees to develop a multi-generational team and create a strong environment for developing careers and retaining talent. How will your company plan for talent acquisition and retention of employees of the current and upcoming generations?

These three interactive workshops explore the changing workforce and what you can do to ensure your organization and its employees are successful.

  • Bridging the Gap: When Generations Collide
    This workshop will create awareness and understanding of what drives attitudes that are prevalent at work today – what the impact is on your organization. You will learn how to attract and retain the talent you need. Leaders in your organization will learn the impact generational “reference points” have had on shaping the values, attitudes and behavior of their employees – and they’re all different!
  • Beyond the Gap: What to do with Colliding Generations
    Beyond the Gap takes a look at what you learned from “Bridging the Gap” and applies it to your organization. This workshop will help you win at competitive recruiting and then “glue” your new hires to you. You will learn how to foster diversity within the organization, improve communication and boost productivity and work satisfaction.
  • Engaging a Changing Workforce
    Continuing to build on Bridging the Gap and Beyond the Gap, Engaging a Changing Workforce looks at the bottom line: It’s a new “game” so there’s new rules and new roles. In order to engage each of the four generations to produce the results your organization needs to sustain steady growth and profitability, you need to know how to play! This workshop will show you the demographic trends that created this issue. It will give you an appreciation of the four generations and provide you with specific action items for adapting how you work and manage your employees. Learn to:
    • Reduce conflict,
    • Dispel age stereotypes,
    • Maximize contributions, and
    • Share knowledge

Discovering the Leader Within

This workshop will help attendees understand "why people do what they do." Each of us has developed a distinct way of thinking, feeling and acting which becomes our behavioral style. Our unique patterns distinguish us from one another, and express our individual identities just like our thumbprint. Attendees will discover strengths and weaknesses of their behavioral style; and, define and refine their understanding to influence others through behavior, values and attributes.

Wonders of Change

When you have a routine, you know what to expect, and even if it’s difficult or boring, it’s consistent and reliable. You have learned how to do your work and deal with the people who work with you. But when something changes, suddenly your routine is broken and you no longer know what to expect. Studies show that change, even positive change can be stressful. This workshop will show attendees how to face very natural responses when faced with change and help them understand that change is constant in today’s workplace. It offers practical ways to manage emotions during the change process and helps attendees realize these feelings are normal and gives actionable steps for preparing for and responding to change.

Becoming an Effective Team

Successful team members don’t do the same thing at the same time. They do the right thing at the right time. And, while team members work together toward a common goal, individuals still must play their separate parts in the process. This workshop will help team members’ understand the importance of each role and furthers their appreciation of each individual’s contribution. You will learn to align your vision, mission and goals with that of your superiors and evaluate and benchmark your present team culture.

Maximizing Motivation

Attendees will learn how to identify each other’s natural style and what they’re naturally going to gravitate toward thus helping them figure out how to motivate each other. We will explore the need for affiliation, power and achievement.

Getting it Right: The Employee Life Cycle

Learn what is really involved with attracting, recruiting, selecting, hiring and retaining today’s employees. This structured and scientific method of understanding and measuring people performance lessens the risks of unfair human preferences and gives everyone a clear benchmark to make decisions. These decisions occur not just at the initial recruitment and selection stage of the employee lifecycle but all through a person’s working life. Objective assessment of performance and development potential will influence their career path and help them to realize their true potential. And when it’s time to move on, objective assessment will help to pinpoint suitable candidates for succession and help to smooth the transition of people within teams and organizations.

Recruiting “First Who” Candidates

The need of an organization to assemble the right team is nothing new. However, it’s important to first get the right people on the bus and the wrong people off the bus before you figure out where to drive it. In this workshop, you’ll realize if you begin with “who” instead of “what” your employees can more easily adapt to change. Managers and leaders will learn how to nearly eliminate the need to motivate and manage their employees because they will be self-motivated by their personal inner drive. You will understand the importance of getting the wrong people off the bus. And finally, you will take away a structured and scientific method of understanding and measuring people performance to lessen the risks of unfair human preferences and give everyone a clear benchmark to make decisions.
