‘Y bother with Y?: Generation Y employees in turbulent times’
Two big questions for smart leaders are:
1. Have you figured out how to get your Gen Y employees to help you succeed in the current economic storm?
2. What are you doing now to position yourself to leapfrog your competition when the storm is over?
Some companies recognise that their Gen Y staff inherently have many of the skills and attributes that they desperately need to stay healthy in times like these. They are also proactively taking steps to harness the energy and enthusiasm of this part of their employee base.
Gen Y expert, Zuza Scherer admits that as a group this bunch can be demanding, narcissistic and naïve, but when they are switched on they can also be competitive, creative and committed. Companies that connect with them and harness their potential will dramatically outperform those who don’t know how, or can’t be bothered.
Zuza will share her research and experiences and how the best and bravest organisations take maximum advantage of Generation Y employees. Unlike other Gen Y experts, Zuza doesn’t theorise about Gen Y. She speaks from practice and experience because she is Gen Y.
Zuza has been named Bright Star of the Year 2008 by the National Speakers Association of New Zealand.
Who should attend:
- Managers and HR who struggle with their Gen Y staff
- Parents and grandparents who want to understand the mindset of their Gen Y kids
- Those who want to improve their relationship (professional or personal) with a Gen Y person
- Narcissistic Gen Y who love to hear about themselves!
Key learning outcomes:
- Understand your Gen Y staff: what they’re like and why
- Learn how to effectively retain, motivate and make the most of them
- Improve teamwork and relations between the different generations of your employees
