Date: Tuesday, January 11th, 2022

Time: 10 A.M to 12 P.M. (approximately 2 hours)

There are powerful new forces at work in the modern workplace, a dynamic driven by the intersection of disruptive technology and a new generation of employees who were raised differently, have different values and different expectations.

Misunderstanding these new realities will represent increasing peril for businesses, employers, politicians, and governments. Millennials make up the largest portion of the working age population representing more than 9.5 million Canadians.

This revolutionary, generational change represents enormous risk but also creates an incredible opportunity for the companies and organizations that are positioned to capitalize on it.

Through an engaging, data-filled workshop, David will argue that a generational lens is needed by all organizations, large or small, who are seeking to understand the dynamics at work in the market.
