Time: Noon EST
Speaker: Tina Marie Wohlfield, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.
With four generations of employees in our modern-day workforce, organizations face a growing management challenge. Each generation has a unique set of values, communication styles and motivational drivers which need to be influenced and managed to drive desired business results.
This session will explore how employers can leverage the “total rewards value proposition” and design a total rewards strategy that can both appeal and be flexible to meet the needs of your generationally diverse workforce.

On average, companies with strategic plans see a greater market share and can realize up to 36% more earnings than those without a plan. Business owners need a clear and focused strategic plan that captures the essence of what makes them different in the marketplace. The right plan spells out how they will build on those strengths to realize their greatest potential and success.
A staggering 95% of business owners struggle to execute their strategies successfully.
Come take the first step toward creating and executing a plan that will deliver results faster than you might think. Our upcoming two-hour seminar will empower you with a great tool that
actually works for small business owners. You will learn:
• How to use the one page strategic plan format that’s been effectively used by
thousands of small businesses
• How to base that plan on the unique purpose, values and strengths of your business so it inspires action that supports your vision for the future
• How to simplify the definition of priorities and plans so there is focus on the improvements that will make a meaningful difference
• The basic habits necessary to execute and refine the plan on an ongoing basis so you deliver the results you need
• How to move from planning to action quickly as you follow a clear, effective, and common-sense process

Particularly noteworthy have been his accomplishments at PFI, a leading provider of specialized insurance services to mortgage servicers nationwide. He has helped guide PFI and its affiliates from a value of less than $1 million to over $50 million. Monetizing the aforementioned appreciation in value, he successfully quarterbacked the sale of PFI’s flood division to TransUnion, LLC, and the balance of the firm to Brown & Brown, Inc., a leading NYSE listed insurance intermediary. Under Glantz’s leadership, PFI consistently generated the largest single-year operating profit of any Brown & Brown profit center.
Glantz is Chief Executive Officer of Emagine Novi, Emagine Canton, Emagine Rochester Hills, Emagine Royal Oak, Emagine Macomb, and Emagine Palladium. He has raised over $55 million in capital to initiate those ventures; and in doing so, brought his concept of an exemplary entertainment experience to reality. He is an expert in the cinematic exhibition industry. He has been at the forefront of technological change in the theatre industry, particularly the transition to high-definition digital presentation, deployment of two of the world’s first four “4K” Texas Instruments/Christie digital projectors at Emagine Royal Oak and by initiating its premium large format concept, the E-Max Experience, and by introducing Dolby’s revolutionary Atmos sound systems to the Michigan marketplace.
Glantz holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with High Distinction from Wayne State University and a Master’s Degree in Taxation from Walsh College. He has been recognized by Wayne State’s Business School by awarding him its Distinguished Alumnus Award, by the State’s Irvin D. Reid Honors College naming him as one of its first ever “Pillar Award” recipients, by Ernst & Young as Michigan and Northwest Ohio Entrepreneur of the Year and by Walsh College with the Distinguished Alumnus Award.
Glantz is actively involved in numerous philanthropic endeavors. His volunteer efforts include serving as a member the Board of Directors of The Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce and Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan, member of the Wayne State University Business School Board of Visitors, as a member of the Wayne State University Foundation Board, as Chairman of the Wayne State University Foundation Investment Committee, and as Treasurer of the Detroit Chapter of Variety International. In recognition of his contributions, Mr. Glantz was awarded the 2007 Presidential Citation Award by the Detroit Chapter of Variety International, The Children’s Charity. In 2014, Mr. Glantz was honored by the Salvation Army with their “Doing the Most Good Award” and Winning Futures recognized him as its Businessman of the Year in honor of its founder, Sam Cupp.
