About This Course:
Do you ever find yourself struggling to deal with tech-savvy Generation Y employees with the laid back attitudes and a multitasking approach to life and work? Are you frustrated trying to manage employees who were raised in decades of almost unbroken prosperity? Do you think some are unrealistic in their appeared indifference to climb the corporate ladder?
Although many Gen Y employees are confident, well-educated, self-sufficient, and socially/politically aware, they work - and respond - very differently than workers of years past. Regardless, the key to maximizing productivity, profitability, and a great work environment lies in the manager's ability to work with each employee. And you will learn these skills in this training session.
