A new generation of “ethical consumers” are starting to demand more than just great products and services at fair prices – they also increasingly require transparency, environmental care, social responsibility, diversity and a host of other characteristics in the companies they buy from. They will be demanding these from their employers in the future, too. In this article, Dr Graeme Codrington helps you to see your company – your product offerings, your brand, your reputation, your leaders, your people and your future – through the eyes of your future consumers and staff.

Retiring the Generation Gap: How Employees Young & Old Can Find Common Ground
A few years ago, some of the TomorrowToday team attended a workshop by Jennifer Deal. She certainly challenged our thinking. Her contention was that all the focus on generation gaps in the workplace was obscuring the fact that there are many similarities between people of all ages. She is right, of course – and it is a good “corrective voice” for business to hear. As much as there are certain distinctive characteristics of different generations, each person in your company is nevertheless still that: a person, a human being. As such, they have certain drives, ambitions, requirements and characteristics that should not be neglected.
Jennifer Deal has now turned that research into a book. We were sent a review and summary of the book, and thought you’d be interested in reading about the 10 principles for engaging staff, young and old. This is a great book that will help you not become stuck when thinking about different generations, and not overcompensate for generational differences.
You can purchase the book at Amazon.com or Kalahari.net.

A new kind of eNerGy
|
|
If you live and work in Cape Town, and have had anything to do with TomorrowToday, you will probably have met with, spoken to, or seen Nicky and Glenda. For the past few years they have worked with TomorrowToday as client managers, arranging and organising the best possible TomorrowToday content at conferences and businesses all through the wider Cape Region.
Having gained experience, confidence and a view to chasing their dreams, Nicky and Glenda have left TomorrowToday to start their own agency called eNerGy. In their own words, “So what is eNerGy? eNerGy are a company of Professional Agents who provide companies with a comprehensive list of services in the context of their events, functions and human development needs. This includes, speakers, trainers, consultants, venues, etc.”
Of course, as part of their new venture, they will continue to let organisations all over the wider Cape Region know just how TomorrowToday can add value to their business. If you’d like to make contact with eNerGy, they can be mailed on Glenda@eNerGy-sa.biz and Nicky@eNerGy-sa.biz. We wish them well as the next chapter of their journey unfolds.
