Gen Y Now - How to Recruit and Retain the Next Generation of Talent

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010 - 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM
Rivers Club - Pittsburgh, PA

This session addresses the universal issue that all organizations are facing today: the ability to find and keep new talent in the midst of a constantly changing workforce.

For the first time in history a new generation of worker is entering the workforce with skills and abilities greater than or at least equal to, their experienced supervisors. The face of business and business leaders is changing. Along with new skills, these younger workers bring a set of perspectives and behaviors that require leaders to reevaluate their approach to leadership and management. Your success tomorrow depends on your ability to embrace these changes today.

In this session, Buddy Hobart, nationally recognized author of Gen Y Now: How Generation Y Changes Your Workplace and Why It Requires a New Leadership Style, will discuss how leadership can be operationalized to produce a winning game plan for working with Gen Y. This session addresses generation myths vs. facts, the new realities put forth by Gen Y, the elements of a successful recruitment and retention plan, and the three crucial steps that every leader must take in effectively managing the next generation of leadership.
