Want to liven up a leadership meeting? Just introduce the topic of how to deal with the newest generation in the work force, the millennials. Some people think that the differences in attitude between this group and more experienced workers are so profound that business, as it is currently conducted, will never be the same again. Others believe that the debate is pointless because the distinctions being made don’t constitute real differences. A third group doesn’t care if the differences are real or not. They suggest that we all “just get back to work.” So whose view, if any, is closest to reality? That’s what we intend to explore in this book. This book is designed to: - Deepen understanding of millennials, describe how they differ from baby boomers and explain why you should care.
- Discuss the solutions Deloitte has developed to address the business issues arising from generational differences and the changing work force.
- Encourage a change in mindset that is necessary if leaders are to be more effective in attracting, retaining and developing millennials as well as others in the work force.
- Generate more buy-in and active support for the solutions in place and those still to come.
