Why Can't We All Get Along? Managing a Multi-Generational Workforce
Within a few years, five generations of workers will be represented in the nonprofit workforce. Whether you're a CEO, CFO, HR Director or other senior leader in a nonprofit, you've probably encountered a few challenges stemming from the varying perspectives and priorities that workers from different generations bring to your organization. Conflict between generations is increasingly cited as a driver of low engagement. Attend this webinar to learn about managing risk in a workplace with workers representing three, four or five generations. Find out how to manage a changing workforce that may include workers from the Silent Generation (born before 1945), Baby Boomers (born between 1946-1964), Generation Xers (born between 1965-1980), Millennials (born between 1981-1995), and the very youngest employees - called Generation Z or "Digital Natives" (born after 1996).

Remote Workers: Plugged in Resources or Unmanaged Risk?
Is working from home an efficient alternative to the traditional office job or does it drain or even kill productivity and camaraderie? According to a recent CareerBuilder study, 10% of U.S. workers telecommute at least once a week, up from eight percent in 2007. Cloud computing and high speed wireless networks have made remote worker programs affordable and accessible for even the smallest employers. Yet working remotely may not be a "walk in the park" for all employers. Concerns about inadequate supervision, decreased productivity, and declining morale continue. This webinar will examine the myriad risks associated with remote workers and offer practical approaches to understanding and managing those risks. The webinar will cover communication, resource needs, supervision, and security protocols, as well as topics raised by participants.

April 19 / 2 p.m.

The session will cover systematic approaches such as authentic open door policies, training employees on the complaint process, adopting a practical complaint investigation process, and determining witness credibility.
