This 45-minute taster session introduces key ideas and practical strategies for engaging, motivating, and managing young people—particularly Generation Z—in the workplace.
As Gen Z joins the workforce with new expectations and needs, traditional leadership styles don’t always land well. Managers are finding that what worked in the past may now feel out of touch. Today’s young employees want more than a pay check.
In this session, we’ll explore how to build stronger relationships with younger employees, shift from being a “boss” to a mentor, and embrace a more developmental and inclusive management approach.
This webinar is delivered by Jamie Chambers, our lead expert on generational training and one of our most popular trainers!
- Understand what young people (especially Gen Z) value at work
