Learn to motivate, retain, and empower the new workplace generation.

Experts suggest that in 2015 the Millennial generation (1980-2001) made up over half of our workplace and by 2025 they will account for 75% of the global workforce. It is imperative that today’s organizations discover new ways to excite and engage this generation and harness the raw talent that they bring, while not feeling like they’re giving away the ‘keys’ to the company.

How do we begin to build a workplace culture that encourages Millennials to engage, lead and, in turn, stay in our organizations? This workshop, led by Matt Harrington, the Performance Strategy Consultant for New Directions, sheds light on some new and innovative ways to build a strong workforce for the future.

This half day workshop will help participants build the needed competencies and skills to manage and coach the new workplace generation; with a special focus placed on the increasing number of millennials entering the workforce.

Matt Harrington is a millennial, but he has studied, trained and consulted with organizational leaders of every generation for more than a decade. His approach includes a carefully crafted and designed brand that speaks to both millennials and managers for all generations. His approach is to provide, new contrarian ways of thinking about each generation and to learn from best business practices, case studies and real-world data.

Think Millennial takes place Friday, September 9 at WCU at Biltmore Park, Asheville from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Registration is $199 and includes a networking lunch included from 12 noon until 1 p.m.
