BRATTLEBORO — Two upcoming workshops are designed to help employers maintain a stable, positive workforce.
Local employers challenged by sustaining a stable and productive workforce can attend an “Intro to Bridges Concepts” training provided by the Working Bridges Employer Workgroup, convened by United Way of Windham County.
The class, facilitated by Prudence Pease, will be held on March 4, from 9 a.m. to noon, at the Brattleboro Retreat Education Center. The cost is $35 per person and includes a copy of the book “Hidden Rules of Class at Work,” Working Bridges materials, and light refreshments.
Participants will leave with strategies they can use to improve employee retention, productivity, and advancement for their workforce. Registration is encouraged, as space is limited.
This session is intended for senior managers, HR professionals, supervisors, and employees of organizations with an economically diverse workforce. This training continues the work of the regional Working Bridges Employer Workgroup, which began in November 2012 and meets bi-monthly in Brattleboro.
The Employer Workgroup's next meeting on Wednesday, March 9, from 9 to 11 a.m., will include a free workshop presented by Kerry Secrest of Watershed Coaching, LLC entitled, “Working Across Generations,” addressing generational conflicts at work, why generational perspectives differ, and what can be done to strengthen these relationships at work.
