    How are multi-generational issues impacting your business? What will be the long-term effects of “Brain Drain”? Organizations have as many as four generations currently in the workplace. There will be a significant number of older workers leaving in the next few years. How organizations engage the younger workers and develop succession plans will determine the future success of the organization.

    This interactive session will focus on:

    • Defining the KEY GENERATIONS

    • Methods to combat “BRAIN DRAIN”

    • How multi-generational issues can impact EMPLOYEE TURNOVER

    • Keeping ALL generations engaged on the job, in a meeting, during training

    • A specific PLAN OF ACTION

     

    Participants will learn about how each generation likes to be managed as well as what motivates each generation. They should leave with information to develop an action plan for succession.
