Shira Harrington, CPC, is a consultant and presenter on managing the multigenerational workforce. An outgrowth of her successful recruiting career, Shira brings her extensive research and her unique, ‘real world’ perspective of the world at work to bridge the perceived gaps between the generations and prepare executives for the coming labor shortage. Differences in work ethic, life values, work-life expectations, teamwork, communication styles and relationship to authority are just some of the challenges facing employees of each generation. Moreover, as Baby Boomers prepare to retire, employers are likely to be short-handed unless succession planning begins now.

Shira presents her findings to both human resources audiences as well as to staff of every level.

Shira has been published in the monthly magazine of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, has been quoted in Federal Computer Weekly and has been profiled in the Washington Business Journal (June 1, 2007).

Shira has been a Sr. Recruiting Consultant with Positions Inc. since 1994 and plays an active role in the Washington, DC metropolitan human resources community. She was recently the Vice President of Programs for the Human Resources Association of the National Capital Area; she has been on the program committee of the Finance and Administration Roundtable and she runs a monthly brown bag lunch for human resources professionals. She earned her Masters in Public Relations, with a focus on employee communications, from the University of Maryland at College Park.
