For the first time in modern history, there are six distinct sociological generations alive on the planet. The older you are, the more you’ll feel like an immigrant among natives. People born after 1990 have lives dominated by the iPhone, iPod, iTunes, iPad and more, and have subsequently been dubbed “Generation iY,” a subset of Generation Y. Commonly referred to as the Digital Generation, Mosaics, Techies, Millenials and Screenagers, this generation is the talk of human resource professionals and newspaper journalists, the prize of their parents and the segment of market share that every retailer covets. Yet companies across the United States are grappling with the complexities of employing Gen iY young adults and helping them transition into their corporate culture. Those companies who successfully recruit, train, motivate and retain the emerging generation will position themselves to positively leverage this new talent pool. In this session, you will hear trends and get tips on:

• Why Gen iY thinks as they do How we can help them transition from backpack to briefcase
• How the differences between them and other generations impact their approach to work
• How to help them make the leap from idealism to realism
• How to capitalize on their strengths and minimize their weaknesses How best to equip them to think and act like leaders
