The newest generation, the Millennials, are here and the Traditionalist, Baby Boomers, and Generation Xers only know one thing: it's not business as usual. From their flip flops to their smart phones, the text message generation has a different approach. Organizations that figure out how to attract them, adjust to them, and retain them now will jump far ahead of those that ignore them until five years later.
Eventually, every organization will have to learn to work with Millennials in the war for talent. According the Bureau of Labor Statistics by 2013, Boomers will drop by almost 25% while Millennials will make up 25% of the workforce.
This presentation will explain how the Millennials are different, why Millennials are different, how to attract, train, lead, and retain the next generation.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll walk out with practical ideas you can use today. In the words of a thirty year boomer employee, "Before this presentation, I resented the Millennials for wanting things now that took me years to work for. But now, I understand how different their world was than mine and I can't wait to understand them better so I can really enjoy working with them. Plus, this had really helped me understand my own kids. I'm going to talk with them differently tonight."
