This document discusses generational differences in the workplace. Generation Y, also known as Millennials, now make up 30% of the workforce. They prioritize work-life balance and learning opportunities over loyalty to their employer. In contrast, Baby Boomers value hard work and company success. This can lead to clashes between the generations as they have different expectations of the workplace. It is important for organizations to understand generational differences and play to each generation's strengths in order to attract and retain talent.

I was visiting my son-in-law and daughter
last night when I asked them if I could
borrow a newspaper.
“This is the 21st century, old man,” he said. “We don’t waste
money on newspapers. Here, you can borrow my iPad.”
I can tell you, that fly never knew what hit it…

According to the recent Get Ready For Generation Z Study by staffing company Robert Half and Enactus, a student-focused nonprofit that encourages entrepreneurship, Generation Z will make up 20% of the total workforce by 2020. The statistics below are from the study which surveyed 770 individuals born between 1990 and 1999. While I believe this to overlap the age range of Millennials (typically defined as those born in the 80s and 90s), employers and leaders can still benefit from the insights as they begin to prepare to work alongside a new generation of professionals. Prepare for Generation Z in the workplace. Presented by Ryan Jenkins, Millennial & Generation Z keynote speaker and blogger. http://ryan-jenkins.com.

How Generation Y And Boomers Will Reshape Your Agenda

Steven Truman

In order to attract new talent and drive growth in the future, companies want to know what will constitute an employer of “choice”. This research suggests that Baby Boomers and Generation Y have a lot in common. Policies and strategies are suggested to take advantage of this, and managers may have to change the traditional cash orientated rewards system. These strategies are then interpreted to provide practical advice to a consultant.

Plank Center Webinar: Women & Leadership in Public Relations

Plank Center for Leadership in Public Relations

Progress in gender diversity in public relations remains painfully slow in many ways, but Time’s Up for the field. According to The Homes Report, women make up about 70% of the PR workforce, but they only hold about 30% of the top positions in the industry. The Plank Center hosted a free webinar titled “Women and Leadership in Public Relations.” The Center’s 2017 Leadership Report Card found that being successful in the field is still challenging for women—the pay gap is real; the opportunity gap is real; and the being-heard-and-respected-gap is real. The webinar discusses bridging those gaps, including action items for current leaders at all organizational levels. Led by industry professionals: Julia Hood, founder, Pop-Up Media and AgendaZoom Jacquie McMahon, senior account executive, Ketchum Donnalyn Pompper, public relations professor & endowed chair, University of Oregon Brian Price, corporate communications manager, Starwood Retail Partners And moderated by Leah Seay, assistant manager, public policy communication, General Motors.
