WORKFORCE EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS Business and industry ask employees to show up on time, dress appropriately and

come to work every day. How do you get your target audience to recognize and embrace these “work ethics” so they can become productive employees?

Smart Work Ethics™ is a program developed to create an understanding of workplace ethics, sometimes called soft skills. Taking your target audience

through a series of workshops that build on the fundamentals of responsibility and choice, they are able to recognize and accept their role in the workplace. The

interactive workshops are interconnected with each other to help build a base of understanding.

Based on Workplace Essentials, standard workplace requirements for employees, Smart Work Ethics™ has expanded the program by using behavioral

reinforcements to create change. We are not just providing information. We are changing behavior. It is time to provide your target audience, including Generation Y, with new skills that address today’s work ethics.

The program is designed to help with the transition from school to work. For the

person out of school the program targets “need to know” information for successful employment.

We offer a Train the Trainer series for your in-house trainer.

Increase your participants’ chance for success and make going to work a win-win transition by contacting

AMIK.ca today! PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

From making a good first impression to knowing what interpersonal skills are required in today’s workplace, employees need to be aware of what their employers

look for, look at, and measure when they hire and promote employees. Employees who are unaware of these standards risk losing their job and becoming part of the “revolving entry level” employee.

This is not a quick fix for irritations, this is a Life-Long Employment

Strategy. Employee responsibility is often the missing vital link in the working arena. This

course presents the “need to know” essentials for today’s workplace, regardless of where that workplace is. The universal standards for thriving in a work

environment will be presented and discussed and participants will develop an understanding of what employers want and look for in employees to dramatically reduce costly turnover.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To enable employees to:

Show up every day; Show up on time;

Use work time as work time--not personal time; Have a positive work attitude--enhance productivity; Get along with boss, co-workers and customers;

Work independently; Take responsibility;

Make informed choices; Create goals; Communicate effectively;

Work with difficult people; Have accurate self-perception of abilities;

Manage time effectively; Manage emotions; Use problem solving and critical thinking; and

Dress appropriately.

STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS

I. Selecting Trainers

II. Training Essentials III. What Makes Smart Work Ethics™ Work?

Congratulations for choosing new, innovative methods to help your target audience. Smart Work Ethics™ was constructed carefully to provide results. The developers’

backgrounds include education, psychology, social services, business and industry training and at-risk trainers. Our materials and methods are unique for this target

audience. The use of materials in another format will not have the same result.

We want you to be successful with your target audience. We know that Smart Work Ethics™ works. Here are some important success components for Smart Work

Ethics™.

I. Selecting Trainers

1. Trainers are competent with PowerPoint—we suggest using a remote control/clicker.

2. Smart Work Ethics™ is NOT telling. Trainers must be comfortable with open ended class discussion, experiential activities, reinforcing desired behavior

and respecting all participants.

3. Successful trainers can relate to the target audience.

4. Trainers possess an appropriate level of tact, empathy, understanding and

respect. The trainer is able to apply these qualities in the classroom environment, even under duress.

5. Enthusiastic trainers are contagious. Attitude will carry over in the class. Choose your Attitude!

6. Trainers are encouraged to personalize examples/answers with business and

industry examples in their area of expertise. They need to be experienced in the company, business or agency who is providing the training. If you have an exercise from your place of work we encourage you to use it in addition-

not in place of the exercises in Smart Work Ethics™.

7. Smart Work Ethics™ trainers need to have adequate time to practice, prepare and deliver each class.

8. The trainer must recognize the importance of listening to the students. This is huge. Trainers must be able to facilitate class discussion so it is

appropriate to the class and timeframe. This may mean individual attention after class.

II. Training Essentials

1. All materials are purchased from Anishinabek Consultants Inc., the parent company of Amik.ca.

2. Trainers use the materials as specified.

3. All modules and exercises are to be completed with the exception of Class 3-Image and Appearance—as noted in training.

4. Trainers are encouraged to personalize examples/answers with business and

industry examples in their area of expertise.

5. Smart Work Ethics™ is a 24 hour program designed to be most effective in a

3 hour format. The 3 hour format is designed to mimic workplace hours. Based on a 3 hour class format the suggested scheduling of classes is: a) 1 class per week

b) 2 classes per week c) Any more than two classes per week does not provide sufficient time for

internalization.

6. A one hour format loses continuity and requires the trainers to provide

additional questions for recap for beginning and ending of each segment (24 segments VS 8 segments)

7. Adequate time needs to be allocated for Smart Work Ethics™ (It won’t work

to try to fit it in the last 15 minutes of a class).

8. Smart Work Ethics™ trainers need to have adequate time to prepare and

deliver each class.—yes, it’s work repeating.

9. The button slogan is the product of the participants’ cooperation. They own it. The button slogan may not be something you would choose. However,

innuendos, slurs, etc. need to be excluded.

10.We only use positive reinforcement. There may be rare occasions when improper behavior needs to be addressed. This is to be done in private/outside of class.

11.Smart Work Ethics™ can be a springboard for additional classes for your

target audience. IE: Purchasing lunch/junk food VS making lunch every day—How to make your lunch at home for the workday.

12.Room decorations are to be displayed for EVERY class to enhance participation, learning and excitement.

13.Name badges showing Smart Colors are essential for integrated learning and

are to be worn and displayed.

14.The success of Smart Work Ethics™ is NOT based on one thing, but is

an accumulation of discoveries that your target audience experiences.

III. What makes ‘Smart Work Ethics™’ work?

1. All trainers using Smart Work Ethics™ materials (books, etc.) are certified.

2. How it is taught is as important as what is taught.

3. Participant interaction

4. Seating arrangement

5. Moving students around

6. Reinforcements

7. Room enhancements

8. “Can Do” attitude of the trainer

9. Open to listen to students

10.Respect for students—where they are now (They may not “get it” right

away—remember this is a learning process).

11.Use all exercises—don’t skip them.

12.Use all 24 hours of instruction.
