Millennials and Generation Z: Reducing Attrition and Unlocking Your Companys Productivity

In today's business environment, four generations work side-by-side, each with different attitudes and expectations about their jobs, careers, and contributions to their employers. Businesses need to create and deliver a value proposition to bring out the best from workers in Generation Y ("Millennials") and Z, especially since they are becoming increasingly dependent on younger talent while continuously losing older talent to retirement. Now and in coming years, success will shine upon those employers that are savvy enough to leverage the talents and skills of Generations Y and Z. This course is designed to arm you with valuable information to know about today's rapidly evolving workforce so that you can position your business for greater productivity.

Business leaders, managers, and human resources find themselves with a much different profile of their company workforce than they've ever had before.
