The Y Myth: Motivating Millennials in the Workplace
Generation Y, otherwise known as the millennial generation, has been defined as the unmotivated generation. If that is true, how do we motivate this new generation in the workforce? This interactive workshop will discuss the different lenses of generations and how we can utilize what we know to help discover generational motivations in the workplace. Participants will self-define their generational lens and will gain more knowledge of other generations and their motivations. Additionally, participants will be able to take back ideas for building successful relationships with millennial workers.
