"Blending Generations in the Workplace"

04:33PM / Friday, September 26, 2008

WILLIAMSTOWN – Williamstown Commons, Berkshire Works Career and the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, are co-sponsoring a special presentation by nationally-known speaker Liz Ashe, M.Ed on the issue of “Blending Generations in the Workplace.” Scheduled for 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., on Thursday, October 2nd at Williamstown Commons, 25 Adams Road, Williamstown, the event is free and open to the public, and business leaders and managers are particularly encouraged to attend. Refreshments will be served beginning at 5 p.m.

For the first time in American history, four different generations are working together, and now, the largest generation since the baby-boomers is entering the workforce. Ashe’s program will define the four distinct generations, help participants develop an appreciation for the uniqueness of each generation, show what once motivated, challenged and satisfied employees will not work in tomorrow’s workplace, explore ways to blend the generations that taps the wealth of talent and abilities, and offer tips for maintaining, motivating and connecting with the younger generations.

“Today, more than ever we are seeing a very diverse mix of young technology-savvy employees working shoulder-to-shoulder with many older workers,” said Williamstown Commons Administrator Joyce Brewer. “It is very important to understand that fact and find ways to make the most out of each and every employee’s skills and unique talents.”

For more than 25 years, Liz Ashe, M.Ed., has presented seminars, workshops and keynote speeches to organizations and associations at the state, regional and national level. She has written for several publications and has a collection of essays entitled, The Web of Life – How to Deal with the Sticky Stuff. Ashe is a member of the National Speaker’s Association and the New England chapter. For five years she served on the New England board in various positions including Vice President of Professional Development. Currently Director of Training for Affiliated Healthcare Systems (AHS) of Maine, Liz develops and conducts seminars for their Employee Assistance Program and is the author of the EAP bimonthly publication “Of Interest.” In this capacity she provides programs to over 130 organizations with audiences ranging from union and non-union laborers to executive leaders. Liz received her Master of Education and Bachelor of Arts degrees at the University of Maine.

Please RSVP by September 30th to Judy Bombardier at Williamstown Commons by calling 413-458-2111.
