Today’s workplace is comprised of team members representing the largest generational span in history.  Understanding what motivates, engages and inspires each of these generations can be a challenge for leaders, none more so than the much-discussed Millennials.  What motivates them?  How can leaders engage them in the most productive way?  How can companies understand and incorporate their commitment to cause work to attract and retain these talented individuals?

Join us for an interactive conversation led by Derrick Feldmann from Achieve and Liz Livingston Howard from the Kellogg School of Management to share your perspective and discuss these hot topics with other CR leaders.

Liz Howard will share theory and practical examples of some of the generational differences in the workplace and key values and motivations of Millennials and Derrick Feldmann will discuss the results of the last five years of the Millennial Impact Research Project – annual studies to understand how the Millennial generation engages with causes.  He will review the most recent Millennial Impact Study on workplace cause engagement and how Millennials view corporate engagement in the community.

Also, you might find this timely article in the Harvard Business Review by the Chairman of PwC on Keeping Millennials Engaged very interesting reading in preparation for this presentation!
