Inspired Workforces

What are Inspired Workforces and how to build an Inspired Workforce.
- Are you responsible for the performance of others in your workforce, or have you previously been responsible for this role?
- Would you agree that leading and managing people is at times a difficult and complex activity?
We are faced with some pretty tricky issues such as the aging population of the workforce.
Currently the Australian workforce increases by 170,000 per annum whereas projections predict that the workforce will increase by only 125,000 for the whole decade 2010–2020. (Access Economics)
How many of you know what generational label you have been tagged with?
How many boomers are quite frankly tired of hearing how we make life difficult for the Gen X and Y’s in the workforce?
In our consulting business we hear this all the time from younger groups we work with.
Comments such as:
- “The boomers still try and manage us through fear and compliance and play the boss”
- “They think we should be lucky to have our jobs; frankly there are other jobs out there to have where we don’t have to put up with the grief”
The sad thing is they are right.
