Afternoon Workshop
Here Come the Millennials! Attracting and Retaining the Newest Generation at Work
Does the latest generation of employees entering the workforce drive you CRAZY with their entitled attitude and unrealistic expectations about their job and future working for you?
If so, you are going to want to be sure to attend this Strategic Session hosted by best-selling author Dr. Bob Nelson (1001 Ways to Reward Employees) and Zachary Misko, Vice President and Global Leader for KellyOCG on Tuesday, December 6, 2011.
As recently featured in a CBS 60-Minutes interview with Morley Safer—best-selling author Dr. Bob Nelson and Zachary Misko, VP & Global Leader for KellyOCG, share their insights on the latest generation to enter the workforce, the Millennials and how to attract, motivate and retain members of that generation who differ in their outlook, values and expectations from previous generations in the workplace today. The Millennial Generation, those individuals born between 1980 and 2000 will soon dominate the world of work in both number and attitude. These 90 million individuals are unique from any previous generation in both their technical abilities, attitudes, outlook and expectations of work and, as such, companies will need to realign their strategic priorities to reshape the work environment to meet the expressed needs of this generation. Failure to do so will significantly limit a company's ability to hire these younger workers at a time when they already will be experiencing a shortfall of qualified candidates needed to replace the 70 million retiring Baby Boomers in the decade ahead. Success in adapting to this new breed of worker will allow organizations to access and leverage the potential of the younger generation in a way that will create a significant competitive advantage for the company in achieving its mission in the marketplace.
This generation of workers with the skills and aptitudes that every employer will need are not interested in "paying their dues" and conforming to fit the expectations of them by their employers – even in an economy with record unemployment. Rather, this generation of workers will likely cause companies to reassess and strategically realign all aspects of the employment contract to wrap around the life experiences and expectations unique to this generation. The subsequent changes will affect all workers – even those not a part of this generation – as work rules about how work gets done (eg, telecommuting/working hours, group processes/collaboration, enhanced efficiencies via technology, world perspectives and social issues, etc) are permanently redefined.
In this session, Dr. Nelson and Zachary Misko will lay out the impact of this predominant shift in worker demographics, the assets and liabilities this generation brings to the workplace and show managers and executives (most of whom are Baby Boomers) how to strategically adapt to and align with the needs and expectations of these younger workers. HR professionals will learn:
▪ Profile of the Millennials & What Makes Them Tick?
▪ Key Personal & Cultural Influences of the Millennials
▪ Events That Shaped the Millennial Perspective
▪ What do They Want From Work
▪ How to Attract them to Your Company
▪ Millennial Work Attributes & How to Maximize Each
Dinner Presentation
Creating a Culture of Recognition
Build Recognition into the Strategies and Behaviors of the Organization,
Transform Your Workplace into an Employer of Choice
Recognition for performance represents the single most validated principle for driving desired behavior and performance in today’s work environments and a key aspect of employee engagement. The primary reason why managers don’t use recognition is because they report “they aren’t sure how to do it well,” according to doctoral research by Bob Nelson, the primary thought leader on this topic and an international best-selling author of 1001 Ways to Reward Employees (now in its 57th printing). Dr. Nelson will show you how to create a culture of recognition, regardless of the size or type of business you are in.
Compared to the average company, employees in a recognition-focused company are 5 times more likely to feel valued, 7 times more likely to stay, and 11 times more likely to feel completely committed to their jobs and mission of the organization. This presentation will expand your thinking of what recognition really means and what you can do to build it into your culture. Far from being a “fuzzy feel-good notion,” Dr. Nelson will show you practical ways as to how you can get your managers to treat employees in a way that maximizes their willingness to use their best efforts on a daily basis to create an exciting, positive work environment that produces more focused, competitive employees that better serve the strategies of the firm. Attendees will learn:
-
▪ Recent research about what most motivates today’s workers in tight, recessionary times
▪ What recognition really means to your employees and how you can do more of those things
▪ How to maximize the effectiveness of recognition – even with little time or resources
▪ How to get managers on board in supporting and doing more recognition, and doing it better
▪ How to harness the power of best practices from other companies as well as your own
▪ The seven core elements found in strong cultures of recognition and developing a plan
▪ How to build and sustain progress, keeping your recognition efforts fresh and relevant
This session uses a PowerPoint presentation, group activities, case study video clips, Q&A and interaction and draws on doctoral research from Dr. Bob and other recent sources.
