Upcoming Webinar: Generation Y and the War for Talent

Written by Erik Samdahl from i4cp on July 30, 2008

As we progress into the 21st century and Baby Boomers inch closer and closer to retiring en masse, Generation Y will increasingly play a greater role in the workforce. While Gen Y is expected to continue the upward productivity trends engendered by Gen X, boost team performance and embrace cutting-edge technology, concerns still abound; from a lack of basic academic knowledge to overreliance on supervisory guidance and group support.

Join Jay Jamrog, Senior Vice President of i4cp, as he discusses research, trends and observations on managing Generation Y talent. This webinar explores demographic trends and countertrends that anticipate labor shortages, skill deficits and fewer knowledge workers; with plausible outcomes and strategies for dealing with those scenarios. In addition, this session will explore how leaders can respond in order to attract, retain and engage talent in the future.

The Generation Y webinar will be Thursday, August 7, 2008 at 1pm EDT (10am PDT). Register now to take part; i4cp membership is not required.
