• Do You Speak Gen Y?

Do You Speak Gen Y?
Trisha Griffin-Carty, Griffin-Carty Communications

Are you a card-carrying member of the Millennial Generation? If so, this workshop is designed for you.

Much has been written on tips for managing Gen Y, those employees born between 1981-2000. This session explores how the generations that "lived" vs. "learned" technology navigate the workplace and interact with their Baby Boomer colleagues and managers.

During this highly interactive session, you will do the following:

• Identify the strengths and development areas associated with the newest members of the workforce.
• Discuss how this generation is perceived in the workplace and the challenges associated with those perceptions
• Explore how Gen Y employees approach organizational hierarchy, communication flow and work styles.
• Identify strategies for communicating and working effectively with all generations in the workplace.

The bottom line? Understanding what makes you and your colleagues"tick" from a generational point of view is key to career success.
