[OPLINLIST] Intergenerational Diversity Workshop - Fri May 5, 2006

[Megan Kinney]

Colleagues,
The following is posted on behalf of the ALAO Diversity Committee.  A 
link to the workshop registration form is included in the announcement 
below.
This updated information is being posted to several Ohio listservs.  
Apologies to those who receive multiple notices.

-------------------------------------
Among the many challenges facing organizations today is the tremendous 
workforce turnover due to the large number of employees simultaneously
reaching retirement age. The result is a more age-diverse workforce of 
four very different generations working side by side. Each generation’s
unique perspective on work and differing values has contributed to a 
rise in conflicts and misunderstandings and has created the need
to find a better way to lead and work together.

Please join the ALAO Diversity Committee at the State Library of Ohio 
in Columbus for an all-day workshop designed to help us acknowledge 
generational differences, come up with options for improved relations, 
and create models for working together productively.

Note: This workshop has changed presenters since last advertised and 
the original title was Age Matters: Generational Tensions in the 
Workplace.

The workshop will be held from 10a-3p Friday, May 5, 2006 with a boxed 
lunch provided.  The cost is $40.  Please complete the registration 
form available from the workshop description on the ALAO website
