Disconnect: Getting Twentysomething Employees on Board
Why are people under 35 so disenchanted with corporate America –and large not-for-profits as well? Even with a lingering recession, down-sizings, and structural changes in the workplace their Boomer parents still prefer Big and being on the payroll. As companies eye an upturn while noting how small the mobile the young talent pool really is, what can they do to win and hold a larger portion of that pool? In this program we look at what’s happened and what need to be done. Will your company get the young people it needs?
Takeaways:
- Redefining common terns: If you’re a Boomer community and participation are defined very differently by you and your younger employees.
- Old think: Rising to the top of the organization is important
- New think: Use the organization to develop skills on the way to building wealth in one’s own business.
- Old think: Office politics is a part of every workplace.
- New think: Office poitics is pointless and stupid. “Who cares what my co-workers think? I don’t think about them. Why should they think about me?”
- Old think: The ultimate is to be an effective leader and manager.
- New think: Who wants to manage people? Boring and stressful!
At the end of this program you will rethink the way you manage a cross-generational workforce.
