Gen Y Likes to Dress Up for Halloween
October 28, 2007
One of the questions that will be addressed on the Fanny Keefer show called Studio 4 http://www.studio4.ca will be which generation wants to dress up for Halloween.
It seems that there has been a resurgence of the interest in dressing up for Halloween and Gen Y is driving this. This is a generation who has adopted the Boomer music tastes, the Boomer nostalgia of drive-in movies and the childhoods of Boomers that included dressing up for Halloween.
My Gen Y daughter is so excited about dressing up at work with all of her work mates. She has been shopping for her costume for over two weeks. Interestingly though she has also been cost concious and did not want to spend too much on a one day dress up event.
Boomers and Gen X ers seem to be joining the fun feelings of Halloween as well and this year if it seems that more people are planning to dress up than usual.
In our times of global uncertainty and coupled with our heavily scheduled lives it would appear that ALL of us are looking for opportunities to lighten up and have some fun. Dressing up allows us to pretend to be someone else who is somewhere else and adds some levity to the workplace.
Years ago it was frowned upon for employees to dress up because it might be viewed as unprofessional. Now depending on the industry, workplaces find that customers enjoy seeing people dressed up and it adds interest for at least the one day.
For example my local Starbucks staff dressed up last year and the atmosphere was jovial, light and added to the sense of community that Starbucks is known to want to create.
I dont know about you but I wont be dressing up because it would be for my own benefit since I work out of my home office. Although I could skype my e-staff and we could see each others costumes via webcam. Hmmmm might not be a bad idea……..
ZENgagement: Lazy Disengagement
October 27, 2007
When we are disengaged it often drains our energy. We are not so much conserving energy or renewing energy as much as we are letting the energy drain from us with very little to show for our efforts.
Here is a short snippet story from Sakyong Mipham’s Turning The Mind Into An Ally:
I have a friend who’s particularly susceptible to attacks of basic laziness. For example, one day when we were relaxing together, he decided to take a rest on the couch. He poured himself a drink, placed it on the coffee table, and then lay down on the sofa. After a few minutes of lying there, he realized he’d placed his glass on the far side of the table, out of reach. Instead of sitting up and picking up his glass, he found a clothes hanger that was wedged between the cushions and hooked the leg of the coffee table with it to drag the table closer. Predictably, the drink fell off the table. We often expend much more energy being lazy than it would take to deal with our life straightforwardly.
What is your straightforward path to employee engagement?
