Looking to grow, build or readjust your department or business? Need to attract qualified applicants when there is an industry shortage?  Looking to develop your skills in recruitment and make this your best year ever? Would you like to reduce turnover?

It is not a secret that poor recruitment can make or break a workplace culture and can be a very costly mistake!  Attracting, hiring and retaining the right people for your organization can be a challenge at any time.

Join industry leader Michelle Alcorn for this invigorating and informative half-day session that will reinforce your knowledge of industry trends and the impact of strong recruitment practices, explain how you can improve rates of attraction and recruitment, as well as clarify how you can foster a desired place to work resulting in a more productive, healthy and happy staff. People make the difference!!

First and foremost, the quality, efficiency and dynamism of a team depend on those who are its members. It is therefore necessary to know oneself and to value the differences of others. Everyone is special and has their own qualities and limitations. There are many types of personalities. A team is at its strongest when it is made up of various personalities. Knowing all these personalities and maximizing the strengths of the individuals that make up the group will help create a team spirit oriented towards achieving common objectives. This conference will give us the tools we need to work together to overcome the countless challenges that life presents to us.

Have you noticed the age difference of the people sitting near you at work? Look around at your next meeting, and you will see someone close to retirement sitting next to a freshly out-of-school graduate. These circumstances present a unique challenge for today's leaders: how to motivate and manage an inter-generational workforce.

As New-Brunswick's population continues to age, those left in the workforce will be faced with challenges never seen before. Eddie LeMoine will bring participants through a journey to understand the impact of the aging population and how to create a workplace that will attract and retain a winning team. You will discover how to work across five generations, in a multicultural and diverse workforce. This presentation is packed with content participants can use as soon as they go back to work.

Aging demographics and the shrinking workforce has been a front and center topic for several years. With people living longer, staying in the workforce longer or re-entering the workforce after retirement, we are now experiencing the latest form of diversity in the workplace—five generations! Should leaders be concerned about these shifting generation gaps? Definitely! To achieve maximum productivity and a great work environment, an effective leader is a leader who understands, manages, and communicates across all generations.

Today it's commonplace for five generations to be working side by side within an organization. This recent phenomenon is contributing to the newest and probably most significant workplace challenge for today's leaders. Research shows that bridging the generation gap leads to a more productive and happy work environment. Managing a specific generation (e.g., the Millennials) is no longer enough. It is now critical for a leader to understand, manage, and communicate cogently across all ages. Eddie LeMoine has been delivering keynote presentations and training sessions on the inter-generational workplace since 2005 and is considered a foremost authority on this topic. Let him share his insights for leading each generation in your organization.

Eddie LeMoine has made an extensive study of the inter-generational workplace. His observations are enlightening, and his presentations are delightfully entertaining and content-rich. Thousands of participants have learned from and enjoyed this presentation, and it continues to be one of his most popular topics. It is delivered in an engaging, fast-paced, and entertaining session filled with stories anecdotes and videos.
