Recruiting and Retaining the Multi-Generational Workforce November 11, 2008

What do a college graduate and a 60+ soon to be retired worker have in common? The similarities might just surprise you. Join us for an insightful discussion of how generational diversity impacts talent acquisition and workforce management. With four, possibly five generations soon to be engaged in the workforce simultaneously, employers must understand the values, behaviors, driving needs and value of each group.

We will help you understand the voice of each generation - gaining the ability to tailor recruiting strategies and workforce management programs to leverage each group's values, perspective and needs. You'll be able to:

-Reshape your thinking about Gen X, Gen Y, the mature worker, free agency, and values of each generation/segment
-Determine tactical ways to connect with each generation
-Harness the knowledge and energy of diverse groups and understand the challenges presented by generational diversity
-Strategy set for all of the above
