Abby, Thanks for mentioning the article. I’m glad you found it interesting. And what you say is so incredibly important. Unofrtunate that many companies haven’t quite figured it out yet, but have faith. A good bit of intellect is focusing in on those things that are so important to you and many more new generation workers like you! Cheers!

I found this article about creating a “learning organization” interesting: http://www.esondemand.com/company/99/webdocs/Learning%20Org%20White%20Paper.pdf It discusses way in which to manage the new generation of workers and talks about ways to retain workers. It definitely seems to fall in line with the Think Forward Work Backward idea. Allowing people to grow at a company is key to retention. Even if the learning that is done is not directly related to the person’s job but teaches them a “life skill, ” it shows commitment to the employee as a whole (as opposed to a worker who can be replaced) and for me, being one of the new generation of workers, is a very important attribute of a company.

I really like this concept. I am working on a master’s of education. One of the ideas for lesson planning is called
“Backwards Design”. The idea being that you formulate your “essential question” first. That’s what you want to get to. But how will you get there? You design activities, assessments and a variety of teaching exercises that will get you to where you want to go. Cool!
