DFW: Millennials - Managing a Multigenerational Workforce

  • November 15, 2016
  • 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM (CST)
  • Sammons Cancer Center at Baylor Medical Center, Medco Conference Room 10th Floor- 3410 Worth Street, Dallas TX 75246

Registration is closed

One of the realities and challenges in our businesses today is managing a truly multigenerational workforce. For many reasons, the Millennials are truly different from previous Generation X’ers and their predecessors. They think, act and work in different ways – and are motivated and driven by different factors and values. This reality is and will continue to have significant impacts throughout our businesses – in the ways that we attract, engage and retain this part of our workforce – and how we balance that with the motivators and value drivers for our non-Millennial workforce. Keri Jolly, Stephen Konstans and Jean Lee are executive business leaders who live and breathe this reality every day – and will lead our panel and group discussion by providing insights and experiences of how they and their respective organizations are managing this challenge. In addition to a panel of experts – why not hear it directly from our Millennials themselves? 

For this event, we are inviting CEO Trust members and invited guests to bring one Millennial from their respective organization to the session.  In addition to providing first person insight, this will be an excellent networking opportunity for these critical assets of our respective businesses.


If you are a CEO and would like to see if you qualify to attend this event, register online at ceotrust.org/apply.
