The Next Generation of Employee
The Millennial generation, also known as Generation Y, is defined by work-life balance, multi-tasking, and an integration of technology in all parts of life. Millennial employees are motivated by relationships, and thus benefit from being managed differently than other generations.
This presentation will focus on Millennial employees’ motives and values. What drives Millennial employees and how can employers tap into their strengths? How can employers effectively communicate with and manage Millennial employees while guiding Millennials to do their very best?
Originally presented on November 13, 2012, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
