Organizations should create a culture where people can come together to produce great work and form friendly relationships with each other. Here are some ideas to make that happen.
The Millennial Effect on Employee EngagementO.C. Tanner
As of 2015, Millennials have officially made their way into the workforce. Employers must learn and adapt in order to engage with millennial employees. Here's how.
What Executives Need to Know About Millennial WomenQualtrics
With millennials projected to account for 75% of the workforce by 2025 and women accounting for upwards of 50% of this total, your company's executives are likely increasingly focused on cracking the code of how to attract, advance, and retain next generation women leaders. As a result, QUEST launched a research project targeted at helping organizational leaders who aspire to create practices and a culture where millennial women advance.
The QUEST Special Report, “What Executives Need to Know about Millennial Women,” identifies five key themes that young, high potential women cited as important to what they wanted and needed from their work environments – things that serve to attract, motivate, and retain them in their organizations. Through company practices, stories, and the voices of millennial women and organizational leaders, in this webinar we'll highlight how companies are embracing the values that young female stars desire: "know me," "challenge me," "connect me," "inspire me," and "unleash me."
Sometimes we hear or believe things about accomplishing great work that are simply not true. Here are a few of those myths and the corresponding realities that lead to becoming a true difference-maker.

Millennials are growing up...and have taken over majority status in today's workforce. As a result, if you lead a company, odds are you have a significant block of employees who fall in this category within your organization. You have probably likewise concluded that this group is a breed apart from those you’ve previously dealt with…so when it comes to constructing an effective pay plan, you’re at a loss. Among other things, you may have bought into the conventional wisdom that says millennials are not loyal to a company and therefore traditional forms of pay won’t appeal to them.

On the cover: Women and leadership 35
Women start careers in business and other professions with the same
level of intelligence, education, and commitment as men. Yet comparatively
few reach the top echelons.
This gap matters not only because the familiar glass ceiling is unfair, but also
because the world has an increasingly urgent need for more leaders. All
men and women with the brains, the desire, and the perseverance to lead
should be encouraged to fulfill their potential and leave their mark.
With all this in mind, the McKinsey Leadership Project—an initiative to
help professional women at McKinsey and elsewhere—set out four years ago
to learn what drives and sustains successful female leaders. We wanted to
help younger women navigate the paths to leadership and, at the same time,
to learn how organizations could get the best out of this talented group.
To that end, we have interviewed more than 85 women around the world
(and a few good men) who are successful in diverse fields. Some lead 10,000
people or more, others 5 or even fewer. While the specifics of their lives
vary, each one shares the goal of making a difference in the wider world. All
were willing to discuss their personal experiences and to provide
Centered leadership:
How talented women thrive
A new approach to leadership can help women become more self-confident
and effective business leaders.

insights into what it takes to stay the leadership course. We have also studied
the academic literature; consulted experts in leadership, psychology,
organizational behavior, and biology; and sifted through the experiences of
hundreds of colleagues at McKinsey.
From the interviews and other research, we have distilled a leadership
model comprising five broad and interrelated dimensions (exhibit): meaning,
or finding your strengths and putting them to work in the service of an
inspiring purpose; managing energy, or knowing where your energy comes
from, where it goes, and what you can do to manage it; positive framing, or
adopting a more constructive way to view your world, expand your horizons,
and gain the resilience to move ahead even when bad things happen;
connecting, or identifying who can help you grow, building stronger relation-
ships, and increasing your sense of belonging; and engaging, or finding
your voice, becoming self-reliant and confident by accepting opportunities
and the inherent risks they bring, and collaborating with others.
We call this model centered leadership. As the name implies, it’s about having
a well of physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual strength that
drives personal achievement and, in turn, inspires others to follow. What’s
particularly exciting is that we are starting to discover ways women can
actively build the skills to become more self-confident and effective leaders.

In this allegory of employee engagement, we will guide you through the nine most common pitfalls for employee disengagement, and offer strategies to escape them based on the latest industry research and best practices.

Step by step, we will deconstruct each level of employee disengagement and offer some practical, actionable suggestions for how to escape it.
Learn how to:
Keep employees on board, happy and fully engaged.
Tear down silos and build a culture of appreciation and gratitude.
Create a culture that aligns employees with company vision and goals.

1. Citi/LinkedIn’s Today’s Professional Woman Report explores how
women and men evaluate career satisfaction and achieve success.
The State of Career Satisfaction
BROUGHT TO YOU BY
3. According to the latest
Today’s Professional
Woman Report, career
satisfaction and success
are not just end goals,
they’re moving targets
for both men and
women.
4. Inspired by the
conversations in
Connect: Professional
Women’s Network,
the latest survey looks
at career concerns,
professional progress
and happiness.
5. Men and women in every age group report
that the happiest point in their careers was
just a few years in the past.
6. WHEN PROFESSIONALS SAY
THEIR HAPPIEST AGE WAS:
Gen. Y 28
Adults 35–44 35
Adults 45–54 42
Adults 55+ 49
7. “My proudest moments were when I was awarded two commendation
medals from the California Military Department. There is nothing more
satisfying than knowing you did your best and that your efforts had a
positive impact.”
MeShawn Tajalle Hunt, Owner at 2 Tropical Gals
11. Most professionals associate career satisfaction
with a good salary, but the importance of salary
varies between genders and generations as well.
12. Men are more likely than women to
equate career satisfaction with a
“good salary” (58% vs. 52%),
while women ranked salary as
equally important to doing what
they love and being challenged.
13. Salary also becomes less important to
professionals as they age: Respondents 55+
were significantly more likely to equate career
satisfaction with “doing what I love.”
14. “Money, prestige and social status are all nice, but they are
not what make a successful career. You have to feel fulfilled,
constantly striving and learning.”
Pamela Rogers, Employment Coach
16. Of those who asked for a raise in
the past year, the number of
women getting them is on the rise:
84% of women who asked for a
raise last year received one vs. 75%
of those who received a pay
increase in 2013.
17. “WHEN MY BOSS ASKED ‘WHY DO YOU
DESERVE MORE?’ I WAS READY!
I deserved more because I had cut cost for the
company that tripled what I wanted in a raise.
I deserved more because I worked 16 hours a
day and never complained.
I deserved it because I earned it.
WHEN YOU EARN IT, ASK FOR IT! Chances are
you are too valuable for them to let go.”
Rachel Goodwin-Juby, Owner at Emergency 911 Equipment
19. The number of women who
reported that they were very
concerned with work-life balance
has decreased significantly
over time – by 14 points
(53% vs. 39%) since August 2012.
20. “Having a flexible work environment has allowed me to be
much more productive because I don't have to worry as
much about the work-life balance.”
Lisa Ventura, Vice President of Accounting and Administration
