Lunch Meeting: Thursday, April 16th Engaging Employees Under 30: Learning Perspectives, Perceptions and Prescriptions (non-pharmaceutical, yet thought provoking) Presented by:      Fran Kick      Kick It In! - Instruction      and Design Concepts How can we connect with and engage younger employees currently emerging into the workforce? When you work with GenY do you ask yourself "Why do they do that?" Does managing the Millennial Generation in today's workforce make you wonder "Where did these kids come from?" Have you found yourself scratching your head thinking "How can they be wired this way?" Then this program is for you! We'll explore how employees born from 1980-2000 are wired and what it means as they enter the workplace. Discover how we can most effectively impact them in terms of training and development and how first work experiences have influenced their perception of on-the-job training. Ask your burning question (in a safe, non-explosive, Q&A environment) to a panel of young employees and experts. Who Will Benefit? Anyone responsible for hiring or training members of the Millennial Generation. Bring your questions for our panel. Special Bonus! Everyone who attends will get a free copy of Fran's book, "What Makes Kids Kick!"
