Keynote speaker Eric Chester is a trusted source in the global dialogue on employee engagement, workplace culture, and the emerging generation. And he isn’t some Johnny-Come-Lately to this important conversation. Since 1986, Eric’s been in the trenches researching, studying, speaking and writing about these topics.

He was one of the first authors to spell out the radical differences of the post-Gen X workforce in his 2002 bestseller, Employing Generation Why: Understanding, Managing, and Motivating Your New Workforce. Companies discovered that Eric had cracked the code on the emerging generation and sought his advice on how to connect with young employees.

As a keynote speaker Eric Chester became one of North America’s most in-demand conference keynote speakers, presenting at more than 60 meetings and conventions each year. That number increased when his follow-up book, Getting Them to Give a Damn: How to Get Your Front Line to Care About Your Bottom Line, was released in 2005.

On Fire at Work: How Great Companies Ignite Passion in Their People Without Burning Them Out

How do great companies attract top talent, encourage innovation, and instill a desire for excellence? That’s the question Eric Chester set out to answer.

By interviewing more than one hundred acclaimed C-level leaders across all industries, Eric discovered commonalities in how successful leaders create cultures of engagement. In this entertaining and content-rich multimedia presentation, he shares those discoveries with you.

 

Reviving Work Ethic: How to End Entitlement Mentality & Create an Environment of Achievement

The purpose of schools is to prepare students for success in the real world. Developing a healthy work ethic not only prepares young people to be better students, but also prepares them to be better employees, better leaders, and better citizens.

Developing work ethic in students isn’t optional. It’s a responsibility that should be shared by every individual employed by a school district—whether in the classroom, the cafeteria, the administration office, or the school bus.

Eric Chester is the leading authority on developing work ethic in teens and young adults. His presentation will illustrate why the work ethic in America has declined, and he’ll provide solid, actionable ideas and tools for instilling the pride of a job well done.

 

From Rookie to Superstar: Secrets of Getting Your Front Line to Perform Better, Work Harder & Stay Longer

In a perfect world, companies would be able to hire from a bottomless pool of engaged, enthusiastic, hard-working talent.

The reality, though, is that the emerging workforce is smart and techno-savvy… but they haven’t been taught how to succeed in the workplace.

Eric Chester is the leading authority on developing the post-Gen X workforce. In this entertaining presentation, he shares actionable ways to restore pride in a job well done, instill work ethic, and help young workers achieve their remarkable potential.

 

How to Attract/Commit: How to Attract (and Keep) Young Workers to “Non-Sexy” Jobs

As a leader, employer or contractor in a skilled trade industry, you know that recruiting and developing the under-30 demographic can be a challenge. Many young people don’t consider skilled trades “sexy”—and that belief can hold them back from performing to their full potential.

In this high-energy and content-rich presentation, Eric Chester reveals today’s best practices for recruiting, training, managing, and motivating young workers. He integrates best practice examples from recruiters, HR professionals, and other knowledgeable industry leaders. Discover how to increase interest, build application flow, and develop an invincible workforce from the inside out!
