Learning Communications™ Launches Second Training DVD
Learning Communications™ Launches Second Training DVD on Mixing, Managing and Maximizing Performance of Four Generations in Today’s Workforce
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Top ranked corporate training tool now includes “Best Practices” and Scenario-specific information for managers who
– for the first time in history –
are supervising four generations of workers
United States of America (PressReleasePlanet.com) Chicago, April 10, 2009 – Learning Communications, Inc. today announced it has again teamed with industry visionary Cam Marston to launch their newest DVD program “MANAGING Four Generations in the Workplace” — building upon the success of the “MIXING Four Generations in the Workforce” DVD. The new program provides a variety of real-life examples and techniques focused on assisting managers with tailoring their methodologies towards what makes the four generations tick – commonly termed as Matures, Baby Boomers, Gen X’ers, and Millennals.
Globally, there is a universal awareness that strong dichotomies in the workplace are often attributable to: 1) age-related perceptions and differences among the employees, and 2) how each age group interprets and interacts with coworkers. Cam Marston is a recognized leader in this highly specialized field as an author, consultant, speaker and thought leader. The success of the first program (Mixing) with Learning Communications led to a near sell-out immediately after the launch – an unusual occurrence in the world of corporate training programs.
Working with Producer Art Bauer, one of the most respected film-makers in the training industry, the new (Managing) program was developed after receiving high volumes of customer requests for a second installment of the program. Both programs focus on dramatically reducing complex and costly workplace conflicts by providing managers and supervisors with strategies and tactics for recruiting, retaining and motivating — using the generational differences in a positive way.
“The first video was about MIXING four generations of people, and the cry was ‘HOW do we as managers manage these different generations,” said Cam Marston, speaker and program developer. “Managers quickly adopted the theories but asked for more specific, applicable solutions for their own teams.” Cam Marston is also the author of the workplace-focused business best-seller book, Motivating the ‘What’s in it for me?’ Workforce.
“Clearly our star is Cam Marston on the generations issue,” said Lloyd Singer, CEO of Learning Communications, the program’s master distributor now celebrating its tenth year in the learning resource business. “We see that generational issues are HOT right now, even surpassing last decade’s ‘sexual harassment’ theme which ranked as the premier outsourced training category for years. More than 1000 organizations are now using MIXING Four Generations to train over one million employees in this important topic. We recently introduced the e-learning version of MIXING for training individual employees right at their desk and the initial feedback has been very gratifying. ”
Learning Communications offers a large variety of training DVDs, streaming video solutions, e-learning courses, books and other custom packaged solutions to companies and government agencies around the world. In addition to its library of training resources, Learning Communications provides blended learning solutions for most Fortune 1000 companies, government agencies, educational institutions, and healthcare .
Customers purchasing the program include supervisors, team leaders, HR and diversity managers.
Managing Four Generations in the Workplace includes a 2-program DVD, CD with Facilitator’s Guide, Participant Guide, and customizable PowerPoint Presentation that can also be printed and used as a handout – all priced at $995. The series is sold through Learning Communications and its distributors, who offer a $1495 combinations package for the Managing program along with the first program from the series, Mixing Four Generations in the Workplace.
