Lesson Plan: Positive Work Ethic
Develop a Strong Work Ethic Activity
Professionalism in Today's Workforce Activity
The face of the workplace is constantly evolving as one generation begins to retire
and another moves up to take its place. In 2010, an office may have a mix of baby boomers (and older),
Gen X-ers, and Gen Y-ers (Millennials) all working together. In addition to generational differences,
differences in education, upbringing, social norms, and values may create cultural gaps that may lead
to misunderstandings or conflicts at times. In reality, a variety of perspectives in the workplace can
actually benefit and strengthen an organization. The purpose of this activity is to have participants
discuss how to bridge generational, cultural, and other diversity gaps in order to build a new standard
for professionalism in the workplace.
