Description
During these challenging times, all we hear is how we’re living and working in a new normal – the things that worked in the past can’t be counted on to take us into the future. This is particularly relevant when it comes to engaging and retaining our young workforce. The Millennials, those 20-somethings in your office, are wired for the future trying to stand out in organizations steeped in the past.
Whether you think so or not, your organization needs Millennials. They are the largest U.S. demographic and according to the U.S. Department of Labor they will make up over 50% of the workplace by 2014. They are quickly becoming a strategic component not only in size but spending power and influence. Is your organization ready for them? Do you know what makes them tick? Do you know what you need to do to capitalize on their talents? Can you afford to lose the best they have to offer?
If you answered no to one or all of the questions above, you are in the right place. Learn the new strategies that you can implement across your organization to become the employer of choice for this new workforce.
