CFA Convention 2015
Williamsburg, VA July 23-25
“Bridging The Generational Gaps”
presented by Jason Ells of Custom Concrete
The next generation: who are they and how do we engage them? Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials; they all have their strengths, weaknesses and characteristics that set them apart. However, today’s business owners face very real frustrations and risks in looking to employ the next generation. Seemingly gone are the days of the laborer pleased to have a job and committed to honoring his/her work…or are they?
The next generation is proving to learn at an exponential rate. The have access to information, both truthful and contrived, that challenges every aspect of the task and environment. It appears that they see a current position as placeholder or a bus stop to the next opportunity. Over the course of this presentation, we will set these assumptions aside. The Millennial concept will be looked at and dissected as we share ways of engaging this generation, employing them and even learning from them.
