Staff Development
Several training opportunities are available for preparing individuals in K-12 and post-secondary education in specific, focused areas. However, The National Lighthouse Foundation's Team Building Training is unique in creativity, structure, and customization. We develop content-driven material that is relatable, entertaining, and interactive while exclusively focused on accomplishing the principal's goals. Our most requested offerings are DEI, Team Building, Mental Health, Generations in the Workplace, and Parenting Sessions.
Team Building
We take pride in our motivational team-building sessions. They are our most requested sessions. Even though they look like games, team-building activities are thoughtfully designed to encourage people to work as a team in the workplace. These activities have several benefits:
Communication: Most team-building activities require thoughtful communication to win the game or solve the problem. Your employees will transfer the communication skills they develop during the team-building activity to their professional relationships.
Motivation: Participation in team-building activities allows your employees an opportunity to try something new and refresh their motivation for work.
Creativity: Some team-building activities require creative thinking to solve problems. The more your employees engage in creative thinking, the more quickly they can apply creative solutions to company challenges.
Problem-solving: When your employees have low-pressure opportunities to solve problems as a team, they will perform better when faced with problem-solving in a real-world scenario.
Trust: Usually, team-building activities involve everyone in the company. Everyone from upper management to entry-level has an opportunity to work together, fostering trust for one another and the organization.
Parent University
Parent University is an opportunity for parents to sharpen their skills as they work in one of life's most essential and demanding roles. The program provides parents and caregivers with information about their vital responsibility in shaping children's lives. The Parent University sessions focus on child development, what children learn in schools, advocacy, parent leadership, and practical parenting skills. Parent University learning sessions focus on four areas that support parents in ways that empower them to become leaders and advocate for student learning and school improvement.
Generations in the Workplace
A core challenge over the next decade will be attracting and retaining a skilled workforce as the labor market tightens, technology evolves, and fewer international students immigrate to America for job opportunities. This situation is exacerbated as companies find themselves managing four generations of American workers.
Silents (Born between 1925 and 1946)
Baby Boomers (Born between 1946 and 1964)
Generation Xers (Born between 1965 and 1980)
Generation Ys or Millennials (Born after 1980)
Generation Z or Digital Natives (Born between 1996 to 2010)
Each group has distinct characteristics, values, and attitudes toward work based on its generation's life experiences. To successfully integrate these generations into the workplace, companies will need to embrace radical changes in recruitment and benefits while creating a corporate culture that actively demonstrates respect and inclusion for its multigenerational workforce.
