Generation “Why Not?”
Attracting and Retaining All Five Generations to Create Great Work Cultures
Millennials are gaining power and they’re uniquely valuable. Do you know how to attract them to your workforce and keep them there? What about Gen Z, which has already started to enter the workforce: who are they? What about Gen X, Boomers and the Silent Generation? How can we attract them all to work together with Millennials and Gen Z in one big, happy family?
In this entertaining, inclusive and research-based keynote for teams, executives and HR pros, Gen X’er Brian Carter leverages 20 years of experience recruiting, managing, serving and partnering with all five of these generations- plus the latest stats and research to deliver a thought-provoking and practical talk that will take your recruiting and staffing efforts to the next level.
Brian’s unique perspective and hilarious original jokes and stories dissolve tension and bring everyone together in this enlightening and practical program:
- Each generation’s special strengths and skills, and how to make open jobs more appealing to each.
- Workplace issues created by generation gaps and how to prevent them from the start.
- How to identify, prevent and overcome the 5 Top intergenerational communication obstacles
- What each generation is looking for, how they prefer to communicate, and what that means for recruiting.
HR & Recruiting: What’s Really Working Today?
- LISTENING to candidates, employees and managers is key. And not just via conversation, but also by listening to all the data everyone is now collecting! Data insights have dramatically improved talent acquisition, management and retention.
- TRUST is fundamental– no one can disagree with that- your people, messaging and procedures need to be trustworthy, or you won’t attract or your people-attracting power is severely dampened.
- LIKABILITY may be more important than trust! When your company, culture, jobs and messaging are likable, people are more attracted to your company.
- TECHNOLOGY is changing what works in Recruiting. Today, many people use websites like Indeed, Dice and LinkedIn. Younger digital natives may look at Glassdoor employee reviews when considering a company. And different generations communicate and contact employers differently, so we need a multiprong talent acquisition strategy that addresses social media just as much as face-to-face communication or job fairs.
