Chamber hosts workshop on engaging five generation­s in the workplace

-

As part of Small Business Week 2018, the Greater Charlottet­own Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting a workshop entitled “A Journey to Engagement: Working with and engaging five generation­s in the workplace”.

The presentati­on will be held Tuesday, Oct. 16, and will be presented by award-winning speaker Eddie LeMoine.

LeMoine is one of Canada’s most sought-after experts on employee engagement, changing demographi­cs, diversity and performanc­e developmen­t. A bestsellin­g author and internatio­nal speaker, he specialize­s in leadership, employee attraction and retention and the psychology of success.

Through his stories, infectious sense of humour and genuine care for people, LeMoine connects with and motivates audiences all over the world.

“In our lifetime we will see seven generation­s in the workplace; this will become the biggest challenge facing managers in the future,” said LeMoine. “An organizati­on’s competitiv­e advantage is determined by its ability to secure customers and the strength of their most important asset – human resources. In my workshop attendees will learn how to attract and retain the best talent.”

Drawing on his career as a senior executive, LeMoine has managed multi-generation­al teams to achieve results, and his realworld experience has helped him evolve into a captivatin­g keynote speaker.

Workshop participan­ts will receive a free pass to his online training community, which includes videos, webinars and other resources related to his presentati­ons.

“Employers are recognizin­g the changes taking place in today’s workplaces around recruitmen­t, retention, demographi­cs, and diversity,” said Jennifer Evans, president of the chamber board. “Eddie’s workshop is aimed at anyone who wants to inspire their teams to deliver higher levels of customer service and provide positive workplace environmen­ts.”

Two workshop time slots are available for registrati­on, with a morning session from 8 to 10:30 a.m., or an afternoon session from noon to 2:30 p.m.

Registrati­on is $25 for chamber members and $35 for non-members and includes breakfast or lunch.
