As the younger generation pours into the workforce, new problems are coming up regarding professionalism, flexibility, work ethic, technology, decision-making, and many more areas. But the question is:
How different is the Millennial mindset, really?
This session will touch on the 5 most common struggles employers have with young employees. We will attempt to separate fact from fiction to land on real solutions for harnessing young talent and minimizing generational tension in the workplace.
This is an experiential session. Plan to be moving and interacting.
