9 Listening strategies Who said what? Listen to the podcast again The goal of the listening strategies section of the monthly feature lesson is to help you to improve your listening skills for all listening situations not just this audio. Can you keep track of who said what? What did journalist, Rick Harp say, and what did Human Resources expert, Margot Ross Graham, say? Put a check mark in the column for what Rick said, in the column for what Margot said, and a check mark in both columns for what they both said. Comment Rick Harp Journalist Human Resources expert Margot Ross Graham There is a link between profits and showing employees that they are appreciated. Nice guys finish last in the workplace. Research shows that if employees feel like someone cares about them the companies they work for will be more profitable. A hug can be an appropriate way to show appreciation in the workplace. Showing appreciation is not part of the culture of profits in the workplace. Appreciating your employees is as important as providing good customer service. If team members help you out on challenging projects, you will be likely to look for ways to help others. It is important to remember that people will notice if your appreciation seems fake.

10 Building Speaking Skills: Syllable Stress in Words If you are trying to improve your pronunciation, one of the most important things to focus on is stress in words with more than one syllable. Listen to the clip below. Pay attention to the words that are underlined. MARGOT I m not sure if it s a barrier but what I think would help them get to that place is authenticity. And so be authentic with your caring and be authentic, people can see through crap. You caught me this morning when I told you, you were such a nice guy, that s why you are where you are today, but they can see through weak words or flowered up. What they want to know is that you do care for the people that you work with. And so, the barrier I would have is don t fake it; be honest, be open and it comes to you. You will know when is the right time to recognize somebody and it will be the right thing and they ll know and feel good about it. 4:07 CBC 2012 Permission is granted reproduction of these pages for educational purposes only. 10
11 Now try to put the underlined words into the proper category based on how many syllables each word has. There are some examples words from the audio to help you. 2 Syllables 3 Syllables 4/5 Syllables pro/cess met/a/phor ac/tu/al/ly Now, listen to the passage again. Decide which syllable in each word receives the most stress. The stressed syllable will sound longer and louder than the other syllables. You may need to listen to the audio several times, and pause it in places to give you time to write down the answer. Look at the chart on the previous again and underline the syllable in each word that receives the most stress. Now practice saying the words with the correct stress. It sometimes helps to tap the syllables with your finger. When you feel ready, play the introduction again, and speak along with announcer. Try to sound as much like him as possible.

12 Grammar Activity Word families The Oxford Dictionary recently noted that the English language has more words than any other modern language. 1 However, many of these words belong to related families of words, for example, quick, quickly, quicker, quickest, quickness. Understanding how one word meaning can be seen in many word forms from the same family can really help expand your vocabulary. The suffix ly usually shows an adverb, the suffixes ness, & ance usually show a noun, ful, ant usually show an adjective. Do you know any other word parts? If not, do you know how to use the dictionary to find the related words? In a dictionary, the word is followed by the part of speech it represents: Quick/ adj./ er/ est Quickly/adv/ The following words are taken from the audio. Do you know the other commonly used word forms from the same family? Can you figure it out without using a dictionary? 1. productivity (noun) adjective 2. expressed (verb pp) adjective noun 3. profitability (noun) adjective noun 4. recognize (verb) noun adverb 5. perception (noun) verb adjective 6. organization (noun) verb 7. respectfully (adverb) adjective verb 8. frustrated (adjective) verb adjective 9. authenticity (noun) adjective adverb 10. caring (adjective) verb noun 11. honest (adjective) adverb noun (Answers can be found in the appendix)

14 Reading Activity Alberta Learning Information Service Tip Sheets Bridging the Generation Gap at Work If you look around your workplace, chances are you ll see people of many different ages representing several generations. Sometimes, when co workers have trouble getting along, the gaps or differences between their generations may be contributing to the problem. See if you can spot the generation gaps in the following stories: Matt, 36, is a manager of a home building company. George, 68, is a construction foreman who supervises several projects. Matt has tried everything he can think of to get George to send in his daily progress reports electronically. Most recently, he s given George a smart phone. George feels he can write his reports faster and more accurately by hand. He drives them over to the main office by 5:30 p.m. each afternoon. That s great, says Matt, except I have to pick my kids up at daycare by 6 p.m. Back in my day, the boss was the last to leave, says George. Deb, 51, and Brittany, 24, are co-workers whose supervisor has asked them to apply for the same promotion. Deb is surprised that Brittany is even being considered for the job. She s almost never in on time and she s always leaving early, complains Deb. She missed the last team-building weekend because she was performing in a play. I do a lot of work from home. If I get the job done, should it matter when or where I do it? asks Brittany. Deb wants that promotion way too much. It s like work is her whole life. The people in these stories represent the four distinct generations that make up today s Canadian workforce Matt is a Generation Xer, George is a Veteran, Deb is a Baby Boomer and Brittany is a Millennial. Each generation has been shaped by a different set of experiences and, as a result, has a certain set of values. One generation may not understand why another s values seem to be so different. Whether you re young or old, it s worth making the effort to understand your co workers. Figuring out which generation you belong to is a good place to start. Look at the following table to see where you fit in. How many of the descriptions ring true for you and for your co workers of different ages? Keep in mind that every description may not apply to each individual. Who are you? You re a Veteran, Traditionalist, Silent Generation Baby Boomer, Boomer Generation X Millennial, Generation Y, Gen Why? Echo Boomer If you were born before 1945 between 1946 and 1964 between 1964 and 1980 since 1980 You re shaped by World War II, the Depression, television, the Cold War, student activism, the energy crisis, technology s first wave, explosion of technology and media, 14
15 traditional family youth culture, FLQ crisis, feminism, space travel, stay at home moms fall of the Berlin Wall, music videos, AIDS, working mothers (latchkey kids), rising divorce rates 9 11, Columbine shootings, multiculturalism, variety of family structures You value respect, loyalty, experience standing out, recognition, competition, independence, hard work flexibility, honesty, feedback, work life balance strong leadership, concern for community, structure, fair play, diversity On the job you are a disciplined, hard worker who appreciates order and a job well done a driven, serviceoriented team player who doesn t want to be micromanaged. You live to work. independent, selfreliant, unimpressed by authority and focused on selfdevelopment. You work to live. self confident, competent, optimistic, out spoken and collaborative Your career motto is Seek job security. Education plus hard work equals success. Invest in portable career skills. Multi track or die! Looking at the gaps How do the differences between generations show up in the workplace? Check out the following examples. Hours of work Each generation tends to have a different approach to hours of work: If you re a Veteran, you turn up when the boss says you should and work until the project is finished. If you re a Boomer, you tend to work all the time. You come in early and stay late. If you re a Gen Xer, you work hard to complete projects but when you re not needed, you want to be free to pursue your life outside of work. If you re a Millennial, you see your job as something you do between weekends or between your other jobs. Recognition and rewards Each generation tends to value different kinds of recognition and rewards: If you re a Veteran, you tend to prefer security, pensions, bonuses and recognition for a job well done. If you re a Boomer, chances are you prefer promotion and increased income. If you re a Gen Xer, you tend to prefer time off rather than a bonus. If you re a Millennial, you re confident about your own abilities, value visibility and close interaction with leaders in the organization. You d like to work on a top level team doing a project you believe in 15
16 Given these differences, it s not surprising that Veterans and Boomers might resent or mistrust Gen Xers and Millennials who flex their hours or seem to be away from the workplace a lot. On the other hand, Gen Xers and Millennials may think Veterans and Boomers are inflexible, married to their jobs and unwilling to ask for what they need. The gaps aren t just between the older and younger generations Gen Xers may find Millennials desire for meaningful work and close relationship with an organization s leaders unrealistic. And Millennials may mistake Gen Xers casual attitude toward authority as disrespect for the leadership Millennials value. Closing the gaps Use the following suggestions to help you get along with co workers of different generations: Be self aware. Think about how people from different generations may view your behaviour and pay attention to your own beliefs and values. For example, Boomers have had to work many long, hard hours in order to stand out among the huge numbers of their generation in the workforce. Gen Xers and Millennials may think that Boomers don t care about life outside of work because they are focusing on the Boomers behaviour rather than the forces that shaped it. On the other hand, Gen Xers entered the workforce during a time when organizations were downsizing and restructuring. They ve learned to rely on themselves and to place a high value on their life outside of work. Veterans and Boomers who kept their jobs during the restructuring handled the situation by working harder. To them, Gen Xers may appear too focused on the life side of the work life balance. Keep an open mind. Challenge what you assume. For example, the Veteran who wears a business suit and seems uncomfortable with technology may be highly creative. The Gen Xer who leaves early and files reports from home may not be out partying all night but may be sharing child care with a spouse. Focus on the goal. If everyone on the team does their share, it may not matter whether Veterans work at their desks during office hours, whether Boomers work after hours, whether Gen Xers work at home on the weekend or whether Millennials work on smart phones in cafés. Value diversity. Accept each generation s different experiences and ways of seeing things. Veterans and Boomers have the kind of experience that comes from years in the workforce they really have seen it all. Gen Xers and Millennials can benefit from their experience. Gen Xers have developed the skills to be independent and self directed. Millennials learned their teamwork skills in daycare. Both have grown up working and playing with technology, from touch screen tablets to social networking. Millennials and Gen Xers use all available technology effortlessly to work at any time, from anywhere. What may 16
17 sometimes look like arrogance is more likely competence and confidence Veterans and Boomers can benefit by recognizing the difference. Support and learn from each other. Co workers from each generation have a lot to offer each other. For example, Gen Xers and Millennials can share their technology skills with Boomers and Veterans. The older generations can mentor the younger. Each generation has something to contribute: Veterans loyalty Boomers dedication to a goal Gen X ers work life balance Millennials comfort with diversity Discover common interests. Sports, hobbies, films, favourite TV shows, volunteering people from different generations may share more interests than they realize. What starts out as small talk in the coffee room can develop into an understanding of a different point of view or a chance to explore a new skill. Veterans, Boomers, Gen Xers and Millennials all bring a wide range of skills, outlooks and experiences to the workplace. When generations recognize and respect their differences, they stay open to the opportunity to learn from each other. 17

Look at the story of Deb and Brittany at the start of the reading. Using your own words try to explain how the generation gap can help us to understand their challenges working together. Deb cannot understand how the work approach of Brittany is appreciated by their bosses. She interprets the way that Brittany comes and goes from the workplace as a lack of commitment to getting the job done. Brittany is a Millennial who believes that it is not important where she works as long as the job is done well. Also, Brittany cannot understand how Deb, a boomer is so committed to her career.

30 SPEAKER TITLE: WORKPLACE APPRECIATION 0:00 Rick It s time for our workplace column and this week Margot Ross Graham our workplace columnist is going to offer us a crash course in hug a no mics a bit of a mixed metaphor there. She s here to tell us how supporting your co workers isn t just the right thing to do, it s a potent recipe for greater productivity. Good Morning, Margot. 0:21 Margot Good Morning, Rick. 0:22 Rick Where did you get the idea for today s topic? 0:25 Margot I actually got the idea as I was driving last week and there was a talk on the Dragons Den. And, one of the candidates on the Dragons Den expressed how he got a hug from Kevin O Leary which of course nobody expects to get and someone came on the radio and said, Well how does a hug have anything to do with making money? And it dawned on me that a hug or treating people respectfully, a real karma in the workplace, has a lot to do with driving profitability, and that s where I got the idea that you know there is a link and it would be really important to talk about that link. 0:54 Rick There is such a thing as workplace karma? I thought nice guys finished last in the workplace. 0:59 Margot Well then you wouldn t be where you are today because you are a nice guy too, Rick. 1:03 Rick Sucking up to the host will not help here, Margot. I see through your little plan. 1:08 Margot You know there actually is, you probably heard and we may have talked about the Gallup 12 questions on employee engagement. And one of those questions actually is, Does somebody care about me at work? And there has been all kinds of research that shows that, if an organization has a high rating on that particular measure they tend to have higher results and better profitability. 1:30 Rick Well, how is care expressed, like what are the manifestations of that? 1:33 Margot Well it could be a hug. It could be a friendly hello in the workplace, it s where people come to work every day and they feel like, I am valued here, I am worthy here, people recognize my efforts, people appreciate what I do in the work day and I am more likely to give back to that organization and to my team. 1:51 Rick But the prevailing mythos around the work place is that it s hard nosed, tough edged you know this kind of thing. Hugs and saying sweetness and light feels kind of fuzzy, feels kind of intangible, and it doesn't seem to, you know Kevin O Leary right he s all about the bottom line and so can you make this all come together somehow? 2:13 Margot Yes, absolutely. I do think there is a perception that that is what the workplace is like but in reality is that in most workplaces it s really not like that. And I mean it is about the bottom line, organizations have to make money but sometimes you have to look at what are the processes that you go through in order to be profitable. And of course, following due process and giving great customer service, but you need to take care of the people that are actually doing the work for you. And I believe that that is where that line can be shown. That employees need to feel like I am giving to the organization and my organization is giving back to me, by treating me respectfully and making me feel good about coming to work every day. And it makes sense, if you came to work frustrated and 30
31 angry and really ticked off at your co workers, are you really going to give your best? Or are you just going to barely be there. But if you come to work and your environment is such that you know you can count on your team member, if you re working on a difficult project that someone is going to chip in and give you a hand, if you re walking through the office and that you notice that it s messy and you re going to pick up after that, you really care about the place you go to every day and you re more likely to give to that place, the way they give to you. And so, it isn t really about I am going to jump into the office every morning and give everybody a hug, which would probably just make other people frustrated 3:31 Rick It goes a little too far. 3:32 Margot It goes too far but what it would be about is I am going to come to work and I am going to recognize the efforts of my co workers and I am going to get that recognition back. And it s a happier place to be. And so it maybe sounds a bit clichéd, but that whole golden rule of life does apply to your whole life, including your workplace, which is treat others the way you like to be treated. And I m pretty sure that most people come to work every day get up every day feeling like, I d like to be treated well so I m going to treat people well. 4:00 Rick Quickly, are there any barriers to this that people should be thinking more consciously about that can help them get to the place you re talking about? 4:07 Margot I m not sure if it s a barrier but what I think would help them get to that place is authenticity. And so be authentic with your caring and be authentic people can see through crap. You caught me this morning when I told you that you were such a nice guy, that s why you are where you are today, but they can see through weak words or flowered up What they want to know is that you authentically do care for the people that you work with. And so, the barrier I would have is don t fake it; be honest, be open and it comes to you. You will know when is the right time to recognize somebody and it will be the right thing and they ll feel good about it. 4:41 Rick Alright Margot, thank you. 4:43 Margot Have a great week. 4:44 Rick I will, Margot Ross Graham, you too! Vice President at Williams Engineering where Human Resources is among her portfolios. Oh are you giving me a hug? Ohh look at that, if only people at home or on the road could see it. It was lovely. 31
