Meet Gen Z
Recruiting, Retaining, and Engaging the Next Generation
Remember when Millennials were the newest generation in the workplace? A tech-savvy and collaborative generation, they pushed boundaries, asked questions, and sometimes drove their bosses nuts.
Millennials are now the largest generation in the workforce. Many are now in their 40s and have direct reports of their own. Today, a new generation is entering the workforce, with a whole new set of expectations and preferences: Gen Z.

This session will focus on the young talent joining your company, give insights into their unique background and traits, and discuss what you can expect when working with them.
