THE PROGRAM
Set young talent up to contribute and grow.
Young employees want managers who take them seriously, set them up for success and recognize their best efforts. Clear expectations, support and guidance help them learn how to contribute.
In this program, Bruce Tulgan draws on decades of longitudinal research tracking young people in the workplace, busting the myths and getting to the reality of what Millennials and Gen Z truly want and need in the workplace. With true stories from both managers and young workers, Bruce blends humor, insight, and concrete best-practices to help audiences build the next generation of high-performers in their organization.
