GENERATIONAL ISSUES (2-Part Series)

This new generation (also known as Gen Y, Millennials, the Internet Generation…) is fresh, energized and smart – in short, they’re AWESOME.

WINNER of International Telly Award in the Training Category

 

2.          AWESOME!

 “AWESOME!” is one program in 2 parts. Part 1, “A New Generation at Work”, presents 24 Gen Y employees from all employment sectors (finance, government, education, technology, manufacturing, service, hospitality, etc.) providing insights into who they are, how they think, and what they need to succeed.  Part 2, “Engaging Gen Y”, presents the perspective of current managers and business owners. Taken together, these two 10-minute videos provide a complete training that is enlightening, energizing and entertaining.

 

This is a timely new release. Gen Y began entering the workforce just a few years ago but will constitute 38% of all employees by the year 2011. By some measures they are the largest generation in history and their impact on all areas of the economy will be enormous. At the same time, this generation is culturally different and often misunderstood. “AWESOME!” seeks to help organizations bridge these differences and maximize the effectiveness and productivity of their younger employees.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT

 

PATTERNS

(3-Part Series)

Patterns is intended to explore the behavioral side of sexual harassment, arming employees and managers with the tools they need to effectively prevent incidents in the first place, and to respond appropriately when they either feel harassed or are aware of harassment occurring.

 

3.          PREVENTING SEXUAL HARASSMENT

Looks at four common patterns of inappropriate behavior- the habitual harasser, the smitten harasser, the bully, the jilted harasser.  How we respond to harassment will be most effective when we recognize why the behavior is occurring.  This program arms employees with the information and insights to help them determine the best way to get the behavior to stop.  A series of dramatizations bring each pattern to life.  Attorneys, human resource professionals, and a troupe of exceptional actors take us through the legal, psychological, cultural and moral issues.  Also AVAILABLE in SPANISH.

ETHICS (2-Part Series)

 

COMPLIANCE IS JUST THE BEGINNING

How do you make better ethical decisions at work? Just because a particular choice is legal does not make it right. Seeing legal compliance as the goal of ethics rather than the starting point can lead to poor decision making with disastrous consequences for the individuals involved and their organizations. Compliance is essential, but it's not enough. 

WINNER of International Telly Award in the Training Category

 

9.          3 STEPS TO ETHICAL DECISIONS

This film introduces the process. We hear from a former Enron executive as well as six ethics experts who discuss the pressures people can feel that may lead them to make poor decisions. We explore the importance of being aware of our core values as well as the standards of behavior expected by our organizations and our communities. Most importantly, we learn the 3 steps we can each take when faced with a tough ethical choice to help us make the best possible decision. These are: 1) The Compliance Test   2) The Ripple Effect   3) The Gut Check

Messages that employees thought had been deleted are being discovered in back-up tapes and elsewhere by high tech detectives and used as evidence in lawsuits. Productivity that is supposed to be enhanced by the speed and power of e-mail is, in many organizations, being negatively impacted as employees use their e-mail for personal communication, to run their own private businesses, to send jokes (some of which are inappropriate or offensive) to their co-workers or to "flame" those they don’t like.  Available in public management version, public employee version, private management version, private employee version, and network ready multimedia version.
