Our First Decade<\/h2>\n

After 10 years of working with over 175 companies, training 50,000+ leaders and\/or employees and writing two books, we are taking the time to step back, take a deep breath and enjoy the fact that n-gen has completed its first decade. \u00a0By taking a first mover advantage in the marketplace, we dedicated our time to becoming the eminent generational experts in Canada. \u00a0Our passion for helping organizations drive greater performance and productivity by taking into consideration the values, expectations and behaviours of a multigenerational workforce has been n-gen\u2019s unique positioning in the marketplace. \u00a0Our niche expertise continues to resonate with clients who realize that generational issues aren\u2019t going away and that leaders must get it right in order to have a positive impact on business results.<\/p>\n

Our Journey<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>In 2003, when we launched n-gen People Performance Inc., we had a vision for what we wanted to create \u2013 a company focused on expertise, exceptional client service, and fresh, new research. \u00a0\u00a0When we quit our jobs 10 years ago to become entrepreneurs, we had no clients and no products. However, we did have a resounding belief that we could design learning solutions that would help organizations maximize the skills set of the four generations, while managing the differences, to drive greater performance and productivity.<\/p>\n

We predicted that the impact of generations on workplace performance would become the next hot button HR issue. However, since we were taking a completely new approach to people management, we didn\u2019t know whether or not organizations would care. \u00a0Who would be n-gen\u2019s first client? \u00a0Would clients see the value generational training would add to their businesses? \u00a0The answer was yes! Looking back at 10 years of business, we are thrilled to have achieved so much, with the help of a dynamic team of employees, facilitators, partners and clients.<\/p>\n

Our master facilitators have brought n-gen sessions to life for participants around the world. \u00a0Their commitment to delivering engaging, fun, informative, inspiring and relevant training sessions has been critical to our success.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Writing our first book Loyalty Unplugged: How to Get, Keep, & Grow All Four Generations<\/em> <\/strong>was a big undertaking, we waded through the existing research, while creating new perspectives to craft the first resource guide for HR leaders. \u00a0In delivering solutions, our clients helped direct our thinking and guided us as to how to best serve them. \u00a0The decision to expand to 5 practice areas \u2013 Sales & Customer Service; Leadership; Team Building; Gen Y; HR Training and to deliver level 1 and level 2 programs was in response to client requests for deeper, more advanced content. \u00a0Our programs are always aligned to our clients\u2019 business needs, with a focus on how to driver greater performance and productivity. Our second book Upgrade Now: Advanced Leadership Skills<\/em><\/strong>, leveraged our knowledge and \u00a0expertise built from \u00a0hundreds of client sessions and consulting engagements to create a practical leadership guide for leaders. \u00a0Our sneak peek into the 5th generation (the Global Generation) and what to expect from the future workforce, forms the basis of new content for us to explore.<\/p>\n

A Big Thank You<\/h2>\n

On behalf of the entire n-gen team we\u2019d like to thank the more than 175+ clients with which we have worked,from almost every industry. \u00a0We have delivered learning to bankers, IT professionals, educators, public servants, funeral home directors, boilermakers, accountants, farmers, sales people, police officers and almost every other sector in between. \u00a0The diversity of our clients has been one of the most rewarding parts of our work. \u00a0Learning about how different organizations function and how generational differences impact their work environments has been fascinating.<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s best organizations have engaging n-gen and we\u2019d like to thank a wide range of clients for their support:<\/p>\n
