A new generation of employees has made its way into the workplace. Although we don’t like to place people into buckets, did you know that employees under the age of 26 are technically considered part of Generation Z?
This session will be focused on how to attract, engage and retain the youngest pool of talent in today’s workforce! We will also be playing a fun trivia game to better relate to our younger colleagues.
