comparison to the accuracy and breadth of
information that we derive from your
assessments."

team and also enabled me to reduce my staff
from three people to two." Terrel V. Dennis,

evaluation from Managing Builders, Boomers,
Xs, and Ys without Losing Zs
"This is honestly the best and most informative
workshop I've attended since I've been working
at the college!
It's given me the tools to understand and
communicate more effectively with everyone I
interact with."
Cindy Harris, Macomb Community College
"I attended your session, titled: Managing
Builders, Boomers, Xs and Ys without losing
your Zs. It was very interesting and very
informative. You just do not realize the
different generations have different values.
The most helpful piece of information was when
you said the Builders and some of the Boomers
have the same job for most of their working life.
The Xs and Ys are changing jobs frequently.
Knowing this makes it easier to work with
people. It is very important to express to all
generations, that they are a team working for
the same goal. The team approach brings many
values and ideas to light.
Being a Builder/Boomer, it can be frustrating to
work with the Xs and Ys. You feel they should
be valuing their job in the same way you do,
but this is not the case. They are always
looking for a better job.
Your training has put a different perspective on
how we manage the different generations."

relate directly to the position." Deborah Shearen, PHR Human Resources Officer, Lake Area Bank

property and information. " Tom Conley, CPP, CFE, President and CEO, The Conley Group
