Why Generational Differences Aren’t Just a Lot of Talk – And How Your Strategic HR Decisions Should Consider Them.
Andrea Zavakos, PhD
Brower HR Consulting, Brower Insurance Agency, A Marsh McLennan LLC Company

From the traditional radio generation to the short-attention-spanned Gen Y’ers, much has been written and discussed regarding the different generations working together these days, but rarely does someone capture the practical application of motivating disparate types of people while working side by side. Andy’s hands-on, real-world workshop will guide participants through human resources decisions for specific workplace issues to help ALL of your employees become their best selves. With observations and recommendations based on the latest behavioral research, this workshop will help you make more informed strategic decisions to attract and keep the top talent, regardless of generation, at your organization.

Learning Objectives:
o Overview the differences between the generations in the workplace and how these differences can affect the strategic direction of the company.
o Discuss human universals and those things we all have in common.
o Provide and explore thought-provoking practical examples of how this new knowledge can be applied.

Speaker Bio
A lifelong fascination with learning has taken Andy to faraway places and provided her with diverse work experiences. From a small town in Ohio, her travels have led her to a U.S. Naval base in Hawaii to Europe to New York and back to Dayton. Extensive travels have exposed her to different cultures and viewpoints that serve her well in her consulting role.

Andy’s expertise has developed through years of hands-on work in a wide range of manufacturing, distribution, sales and service industries. She takes pride in providing her clients with a competitive edge through such HR initiatives as employee relations, organizational and leadership development, executive coaching, talent management, recruiting and retention, compensation and career path programs, training, HR auditing, and developing employee handbooks and job descriptions. She also conducts workplace investigations and facilitates win-win resolutions to problems.

Andrea earned a BA in Psychology from Chaminade University in Honolulu while serving full-time in the U.S. Navy. Following her honorable discharge, she earned an MBA from Dowling College in New York, commuting from her full-time HR job at Swingline Staplers. She returned to the Dayton region in 1992 and served in leadership positions for both small and large corporations before joining Brower HR Consulting in 2002.

Andrea holds a Ph.D. from Antioch University and is certified by HRCI as both a Global and Senior Professional in HR. She works for Brower Insurance Agency as Director of HR Consulting. Andy is also an adjust faculty member in the Conflict Analysis and Engagement and Managing and Leading Change master degree programs at Antioch University Midwest, for which she created the Human Resources Concentration and Certification program.
