What is the best way to implement these materials?
The most effective implementation plans have 2 key elements:
An introduction message focused on giving the managers a useful tool to be more effective at managing Gen Y employees
A follow up over time to reinforce and remind the managers to learn from and utilize the tools.
Give us a call for complimentary implementation advice for your specific situation.
How do I decide which managers should get these materials?
Since the management skills taught in these materials can be effectively used for all employees, we recommend that all managers receive these materials. If this is not possible then start with those managers that deal directly with Gen Y employees.
What is the best way to ‘sell’ these materials internally so I can get the purchase money approved?
Focus on results: make sure to let decision makers know the problems that currently exist and how these materials can address these issues. These materials can also be presented as a cost effective alternative to a full training program.
Avoiding Future Problems: By using this tool to help create high performing teams and to help managers to effectively manage Gen Y employees you help to avoid team conflicts, reduce the time managers spend dealing with issues and lower future recruitment costs that can result from high Gen Y turnover.

How do I get managers to actually use these tools?
Show them what’s in it for them. Show them how using this tool can help make their job easier and more effective. By learning what makes Gen Y’ers ‘tick’ they can adjust their management approach and get more cooperation rather then conflict. Implementing the employee briefing books and team meeting tools will get everyone on the same page for superior performance.
Will these tools work in my unique situation?
If you have employees, yes. All kidding aside, these tools teach excellent management skills that are universally applicable.
Can you help me create an implementation plan?
Yes. We would be happy to work with you to develop an effective implementation plan.
I have a wide variety of managers in different situations, will this one tool work for all of them?
This tool is focused on providing core concepts that are broadly applicable. As such, it will help managers in a wide variety of situations. There will usually be company specific knowledge and information that will need to be shared from Human Resources.
If you feel that having industry specific case studies or other tools particular to your situation would be advantageous, we would be happy to work with you on this.
What is the best way to present this to managers to achieve their acceptance and buy-in?
Our experience is that managers welcome tools that will make their job easier. And, as many of them are learning Gen Y employees are not the same as other employees. As such, they are looking for information that can help them.
Can I get these materials customized?
Yes, absolutely. From simply putting a company’s corporate name/logo on the materials to fully customized content created specifically for your company, we can customize these materials to the extent necessary to make them most effective for your company.
Can I get these materials in electronic format?
Possibly. Although electronic distribution is simple, we find printed versions are more effective because they are more frequently used and easier to implement. Please contact us if you feel electronic format may be the best format for your organization.
How long does it take to receive the materials once I order?
Usually 7-10 days. Bulk and international orders may take longer. Expedited shipping and handling is available for an additional fee if necessary.
Do you ship all materials to one person or directly to each manager directly?
Either. We can ship materials individually or in bulk, either to one address or all different locations. Our goal is to get the materials into the hands of the managers as quickly and easily as possible so they can be put to use.
Will you ship internationally?
Yes. We are happy to ship materials to any location worldwide. (Shipping fees adjusted accordingly)
Can I see a sample of the entire curriculum?
Full samples (not licensed for use) are available to companies considering bulk purchases of the curriculum. Please be in touch with us to tell us about your company and request a sample.
Are there other similar tools like this available in the marketplace?
The reason we created this tool is that companies came to us repeatedly seeking practical, easy to use tools to help their managers make the transition to managing Gen Y employees. We have been in the training and consulting business for over 10 years and although numerous articles and books have been written about Gen Y, we know of no similar materials available in the marketplace that have the ‘boiled down’ Gen Y information and practical tools written specifically for managers.
