Tuesday, April 16, 2019, 2–3:30 p.m. EST/1 p.m. CST/Noon MST/11 a.m. PST

Session Description

Today's workforce is made up of five generations. With employees ranging from teens to those in their twilight years, how we communicate matters. By 2020, the two youngest generations will compose nearly 70 percent of global employees. Breaking down communication barriers to achieve results may make the difference in keeping our most important asset, our people.

As professional service firms, we’re in the business of talent. Our firms thrive on our ability to recruit and retain talent. With low unemployment rates and an ever-increasing competitive marketplace, marketers must partner with human resources teams to ensure we’re ready for battle in today's talent war.

In this webinar, we’ll review the characteristics of the five generations, identify the broad differences, and discuss the result when we blend and mix generational attitudes and beliefs. We’ll also look at ways to leverage these differences to enhance your company’s organizational culture. Most important, we’ll examine ways to use basic business development strategies to recruit and retain a dynamic multi-generational workforce.

Session Learning Objectives:

During this webinar, participants will:

Increase their understanding of the five generations in today's workforce
