The New Workplace - Reviewed by Teamworks

The New Workplace -- Everyone has been there -- big changes are announced at the company; new buzz words come into play, and management works very hard to generate new excitement. All this lasts for about three months, and then things go on as they always were.

This video comes in two parts, one for employees and one for organizational leaders. (The TeamsWork! staff recommends that everyone see both, on different days, with time to talk about what they've seen ). Both tapes are narrated by a Native American story teller. Each includes animation, interviews, and a wide variety of material which is coherently presented, practical, and easily adapted into even the most resistive environment.

The subject matter in these films is not the made-up stuff presented in so many training films and classrooms. Professionals who are interviewed during the films present real problems, from their own workplaces. They recognize that it is not always easy to find solutions, and they present a variety of alternatives.

There are some significant differences between the two tapes. For instance, the leadership tape comes with a facilitator's manual which offers lots of hand-outs, exercises, and other materials which can be used equally well for small teams and very large groups. The employee tape, Making the Change comes in two versions -- one for companies which have unions and one for non-union operations. Both versions bring serious questions right to the forefront of discussion. Once again, the tapes do not present quick, easy answers. They stimulate conversation for your organization, which can be developed by your team.

The New Workplace, two tapes of 23 minutes each, is available from Quality Media Resources; 10929 South East 23rd Street, Bellevue, WA 98004; 800-800-5129.
