The legendary rock band, The Who, sang their rebellious anthem “My Generation” in the early 1960’s. They had a line in the song that screams “I hope I die before I get old !!”

They evidently didn’t have a crystal ball to look into the future. The workplace today has a wider age spread than ever before, and that looks to be the new norm. Now, last Roundtable, I lost it a bit because I get upset when people use the generational labels to categorize and pit one age group versus another. We have ALWAYS had a multi-generational workforce !!

So, for the May HR Roundtable let’s get together and discuss – “Leveraging Generational Strengths !!”

The Roundtable will meet on Tuesday, 5/1/18 from 8:00am to 9:00am at Scarlet Oaks (directions are below). I’ll be sure to be outside to greet you as you make your way in. Please remember that school is in session, so you may have to park out from the building some.

I know this is a posting and it’s not the only effective method of communication for each generation. However, it’s what I’m using. Please take a second and reply with your RSVP by sending an e-mail to me at: sbrowne@larosas.com to let me know if you can attend.

Thanks – Steve

Instructions for the HR Roundtable at Scarlet Oaks:

• The HR Roundtable is open to one and all !!  The meeting has an HR/Business focus each month and we get together to discuss that topic as well as network.  So, if you’re in HR, are a small business owner, are a resource partner who works with HR folks, a professional in transition, etc. – you are welcome to attend the Roundtable !!

• If you’re someone in transition, feel free to bring five (5) copies of the resume to the Roundtable to display. Make sure they’re stapled and not loose. You only need to bring five. It will be enough to help you network.

• Place your resumes in the Job Role category that best fits your background. Please don’t spread them over several categories. People will find you and help you look. You can trust me on that.

• The “dress” for the Roundtable is business casual. We’re not very formal and you’ll be fine however you dress. It’s more important to have you come and attend the forum.

• You can bring business cards, but don’t immediately pass them out when you get to the Roundtable. Get to know people first and see if they’d like a card. It doesn’t need to be your introduction.

• Please come in and sign in for the Roundtable.  Note that if you go to any other Great Oaks door, you’ll be asked to have a picture ID and you will receive a Visitors badge as part of their security system.

• Chances are I’ll be outside to greet you and welcome you to the Roundtable so you can find the right door to come and join the forum !!
