What Do Millennials Want? Myths and Opportunities

The First in the Multi-Generational Program Series


Dispel the myths and hear the truth about the millennial workforce in this lively discussion with panelists from both ends of the age spectrum. Walk away with practical tips for managing millennials and the coming Gen-Z workers. Where do the stereotypes, myths, and dialog about the younger workforce inform practice? What can be chalked up to traditional inter-generational conflict? Do millennials and gen-Z workers have to be led differently in the workplace? What happens when they are the ones put in the lead? Have your smart device at the ready to make your voice heard during this participatory panel program.
