INDIANAPOLIS – Rarely does anyone want to do a “happy dance” when asked to make a significant change in the way they do things. Yet, today’s employees regularly face that challenge in a rapidly evolving, technology-focused work environment.

As part of a luncheon hosted by IndyCREW, Stephanie R. Stilson, PhD, EMBRACE™ Strategist for Sensory Technologies, will speak on “Embracing Change, Enhancing Your Business Culture.” The event is 11:15 a.m. – 1:15 p.m., April 17 at the Marriott North in Indianapolis.

“With the introduction of new technologies in the workforce, effective change management has emerged as one of the most important goals organizations face,” said Stilson, a cognitive development psychologist. “It’s also one of the most challenging. There’s a natural tendency for us to perceive change negatively – even when we realize it’s for our own good.”

Stilson will discuss how organizations can gain a broader understanding of how to apply change management more effectively, while keeping in mind the factors that cause employees to resist change in workflows, strategies, technologies and other workplace initiatives.

As an EMBRACE™ Strategist for Sensory Technologies, Stilson uses her psychology background to consult organizations on how to embrace the changes that must take place to stay competitive in the future. She focuses on the communication strategies that will help define organizational success. Sensory Technologies specializes in emergent visual technology, including digital signage, videoconferencing, collaboration experiences and audiovisual solutions, that amplifies organizational collaboration and enhances engagement with internal and external audiences.

IndyCREW, a resource and referral network in commercial real estate, is an affiliate chapter of the Commercial Real Estate Women Network.

CHICAGO – As part of a conference on modern workplace environments, Sensory Technologies is hosting a presentation on how employers can more effectively engage a multi-generational workforce through technology and innovative strategies.

The IFMA Facility Fusion Conference & Expo, which is March 20-22 at the Sheraton Grand Chicago, also features sessions on innovative workplace design, technology trends and effective outsourcing. IFMA is the largest and most widely recognized international association for facility management professionals.

Sensory Technologies’ John Brisk, Business Development Manager for Advanced Visualization Collaboration, and Stephanie Stilson, PhD, EMBRACE™ Strategist, will speak on “Knowledge Transfer Techniques & Technologies in the Multigenerational Workplace” on March 21.

“With five generations currently in the workplace, all with significantly different ways of processing information, many companies are challenged with how to effectively communicate with them,” Stilson said. “As part of the presentation, we will explore the changing expectations associated with internal communications, and offer an experiential learning model that organizations can use to successfully promote generational knowledge transfer.”

According to Brisk, it’s critical that organizations develop a strategy that allows for effective knowledge transfer among the multiple generations of employees that make up today’s workforce.

“It’s important to realize that today, more than ever, your employees all have very different ways of processing information and learning new skills,” Stilson added. “By addressing those differences with the right strategy and technology, you can increase the likelihood that critical knowledge will be captured, shared and preserved. It ensures that you will have a more engaged workforce, as well as better continuity of culture, business agility and market adaptability.”

Sensory Technologies specializes in emergent visual technology, including digital signage, videoconferencing, collaboration experiences and audiovisual solutions, that amplifies collaboration and enhances connections with internal and external audiences.
