n-gen People Performance Inc. focuses on helping clients get, keep and grow a multi-generational workforce.  Their expertise helps organizations maximize the skill sets of all four generations – Traditionalist, Baby Boomer, Gen X and Gen Y – while managing the differences. n-gen People Performance Inc. is a performance improvement company that offers keynote presentations, workshops and consulting services designed to improve the performance of your organization.  Their team of facilitators work across North America in the private sector, partnering with clients in every industry including banking, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, packaged goods, retail and hospitality.   n-gen People Performance Inc. also works extensively with the public sector, including working with federal ministries, as well as, the province of Ontario and municipal managers in the province of Alberta.

Adwoa co-founded n-gen People Performance Inc. with her managing partner, Giselle Kovary over five years ago after seeing an emerging trend in the workplace.  A gap was surfacing between what employees expected from their employers and what these employers were delivering.  They forecasted that this gap was going to become more significant as labour market conditions shifted to a sellers-market because different generations have different values, behaviour and expectations.Adwoa has a Master’s Degree in Analytic Philosophy from Dalhousie University. She and her partner Giselle have co-authored the book “Loyalty Unplugged – How To Get, Keep & Grow All Four Generations”, published in 2009.

Adwoa’s keynote address entitled Four Generations - Four Approaches to Work, will highlight generational identities and how they translate into behaviours and expectations of both employees and of students.
