PULLED FROM ALL SIDES:
THE SANDWICH GENERATION AT WORK
The Sandwich Generation is bigger than you might think. Nearly half of adults -- and 60 percent of the workforce -- are caring for aging parents or disabled adults, according to studies by MetLife and Pew Research Center. And it is this generation group of employees that are feeling the most pressure of work and home, and in hindsight this too is effecting employers as corporations are losing a lot of money each year in diminishing productivity costs dues to personal related issues.

MASTERING THE ART OF SUBTLETY TO BUILD HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAMS
There comes times in every leader’s period in office where he or she has to up the game to maximize team performance.

7 months ago when we started our WITTY (WInning Together Team - You), it was new journey for us and most of us were not sold on the impact it would have in our working lives. However in that 7 months as a team we as a team have experienced higher job satisfaction & morale. An increase in professional & personal motivation. Weaknesses were addressed which allowed for us to strengthen our skills and reduce any weak links.
But the most important learning curve was our blended learning. As a team we learned the importance of trust in one another and the ability to rely on each other no matter what the cause. There were many surprises along the way as we got to know each other on a professional & personal level. This only made us stronger as team to serve our Clients.
Needless to say our last WITTY session last week, was a bittersweet occasion. While we had some of the most fun ever with challenges and laughter, it was also sad that it was coming to and end.
However we take comfort in the fact that we have grown so much in the past 7 months and thanks to what we have learned we shall continue to grow even stronger to take on the new year.
