Description: Employee motivation is a central component of the productive workplace. With younger employees coming into the company, there can be age differences that hinder progress. The influx of younger workers, as well as new hires with different ethnic backgrounds, can create challenges to maintaining a level of commitment to the goals of the organization. The success of any organization depends upon the motivation of all the workers to perform at optimum levels. And optimum performance can mean the success or failure of an organization. This program will focus on the creation of skill sets to enhance the hiring process and motive those workers already in the workforce.
In this course students will learn:
* How to work effectively with new hires
* How to overcome the cultural gap with people from diverse cultures
* Ways to determine if your staff are "listening or sleeping"
* Ways to make employee meetings more productive
* How to motivate the Generation X workers
* Ways to raise productivity and lower costs

Description: Do you remember that Access workshop you took a while back? Remember, the one where the basics were practiced, but now it’s difficult to figure out how to move beyond that basic level. This workshop can help. It is designed for students with some basic background in Microsoft Access, but will address those specific questions in using this program. The class will include a brief overview, and then move to manipulation of data.
Students will learn how to:
       Link related data and create forms with subforms
       Use data in Access to create letters in Word
       Use data created in Word or Excel to import into Access
       Create complex queries with summation calculations and use them on reports
