This presentation starts by taking a look back at Millennials - how they continue to shape the workforce and how HR professionals continue to adapt to meet the interests and needs of this generation – as well as look at what’s coming post-Gen Y. We’ll review Gen Z’s unique attitudes and mindset, discussing what companies will need to do in order to competitively recruit and retain these young professionals.

These young professionals hold different traits and values than previous generation. In this seminar, nationally-recognized career coach Ryan Kahn shares his experiences in working with young professionals and provides insights on attracting and motivating young talent.
