Reviving Work Ethic:

Reviving Work Ethic:
Helping Leaders End Entitlement and Restore Pride in the Emerging Workforce.
The Golden Rule instructs us to treat others the way we want to be treated. But what if the other person doesn't want the same things we do? What if treating others the way we want to be treated only creates friction between us?

In a perfect world, business leaders would employ a workforce that's engaged, enthused, and ethically unassailable. The reality, of course, is that the new emerging workforce is streetwise and techno-savvy, but they've not been taught how to succeed in the workplace, at home, or at school.

Eric Chester is the leading authority on developing work ethic in young adults and leading Gen Y employees to achieve at their remarkable potential. His presentation will illustrate why the work ethic in America has declined, and he'll provide solid, actionable ideas and tools for developing the young worker and restoring the pride of a job well done, instilling within them the work ethic they should have received at home and in school – but didn't.

From Rookie to Superstar:

From Rookie to Superstar:
Secrets of Getting Your Front Line to Perform Better, Work Harder, and Stay Longer
Research proves that most business leaders are not satisfied with the performance, productivity, and the service they are getting from their emerging workforce. The problem is not so much a skills gap as it is a values gap, which is apparent when analyzing the core work ethic values a growing number of employees are bringing to the job. This is the cause--and the effect--of Eric Chester's compelling presentation based on his breakthrough leadership book, Reviving Work Ethic – A Leader's Guide to Ending Entitlement and Restoring Pride in the Emerging Workforce. With his hilarious and unconventional style of delivery, Chester will help you build the seven essential work ethic values within your people to ensure their success, and the success and sustainability of your business.

How to Find and Keep Great Employees in the Worst Labor Market Ever
The biggest threat facing today's business owners and managers is not how they can get new customers and improve sales, but rather how they can find, develop, and keep qualified employees to do the tough, vital work that keeps them in business.

(Short-order cook. Drywall installer. Call center service rep. Bus driver. HVAC technician.) These are the kinds of jobs you rely on to keep the wheels of your business moving. They're also the kinds of jobs where employee turnover is pandemic. The (name of client/industry/etc.) needs to find and retain competent workers, but those workers are hard to find—hard to train—and even harder to keep.

In this high-stakes hiring environment, employee engagement expert Eric Chester has gone behind the curtain to interview thousands of owners, managers, and leaders of small companies and franchises in order to uncover the best practices for attracting, developing—and yes, even retaining—amazing employees at all levels, often for jobs that aren't considered sexy by today's standards.

Discover how savvy employers have made bold moves, implemented guerrilla-recruiting tactics, and transformed the way the hiring and retention game is played. Eric's presentation will delight, surprise, and get you thinking—and the strategies and methodologies he illustrates will inspire you to change the way you recruit, hire, and lead your employees so you, too, can proudly say you're FULLY STAFFED.
