For the old guard, "Casual Friday" was the first concession made to the new workforce. That concession was made more than 10 years ago. With "Casual Monday," we understand in two words that change is coming. In two words, it speaks to juice bars on site, climbing-wall team-building sessions, and new strategies for timeless goals. Today, younger generations have entirely different expectations of how businesses should operate and how employees should be managed. In this session, the speakers reveal the results of a global survey that answer the questions, "What are the differences?" and "How do we align those needs and expectations through mentoring and coaching to improve our business?" You will discover valuable outcomes in a better understanding of how the new workforce differs from previous generations, and the value it brings to the organization. When you understand the differences and similarities of this group, you will be able to make better hiring decisions and use different management styles to motivate its members and align their expectations to reach company goals. You will also discover that generational issues are global and affect all organizations, both for-profit and non-profit.
