About This Course:
Participants will examine all four generations (Traditionalist, Baby Boomer, Generation X and Generation Y) values/characteristics in relation to the realization of the “Perfect Storm” upon organizations regarding the need for qualified individuals and organizational executives to assume the roles and responsibilities of retiring staff.
Additionally, participants will learn how to target the Gen X and Gen Y into a career where they are more apt to be recruited and remain loyal (retention) to the organization. Additionally, a practical view of how to communicate and provide an environment within which each employee, regardless of the generation group they represent, can become a productive and enthusiastic employee. When recruiting, hiring and retaining the Gen X and Gen Y employees, particular care must be given to their needs – the workforce is changing!
