DAN SCHAWBEL SUGGESTED SPEAKING TOPICS
Building the Workforce of Tomorrow: How to Recruit, Retain & Grow Your Young Talent
Restless Gen-Y workers - often faced with unfulfilling or static positions - frequently leave their posts within two years.

How can corporations retain young workers?

The Multi-Generational Workplace: How Everyone Can Work Together Successfully
The workplace has become increasingly diverse and complex, as employees have to manage generational differences between four groups: Gen Z, Gen Y, Gen X and baby boomers. Each generation was born in a different time period, has diverse workplace preferences, and needs to be managed in a different way. Generational perspectives form based on the time period that each grew up in and they carry lasting beliefs as they progress in their careers. Today, it's increasing important to create a workplace cultural that understands and supports generational differences. As a millennial who has studied all generations extensively over the years, Dan Schawbel understands what motivates the different generation, how they can work together successfully, and the most effective management practices and strategies that work for some of the world's best companies. When addressing employees which make up all generations, Dan helps audiences understand the underlying assumptions each generation brings to work: the histories, personalities, strengths, and challenges. He helps them better understand each other and thus uniting each unique generational group.
Generation Z: Understanding the Next Generation of Worker & Consumer
Having grown up post 9/11, in the wake of the great recession and always connected online, Gen Z is an emerging group that your entire company needs to understand, from HR to marketing. Gen Z represents 23 million Americans born between 1994 and 2010. They have a combined buying power of $43 billion and influence an additional $600 billion of family spending. In another year, they will start to seize entry-level positions at companies worldwide and have different behaviors, needs and work styles than older generations. Dan Schawbel has spent the past year learning about Gen Z through a global research study which spanned across the world, from America to China to South Africa. The first of its kind, the study sought to understand the implications of this generation from both a workplace and consumer perspective. Schawbel found that while Gen Y is more optimistic, Gen Z is realistic and has a strong sense of career management, philanthropy and entrepreneurship. This self-sufficient and tech savvy generation also pose new threats and opportunities for managers, marketers and HR professionals. No matter what your interest is in Generation Z, Schawbel is able to custom tailor a presentation to fit your needs.

During this insightful presentation, you will discover millennials’ unique traits, how to engage them, what motivates them and how to strengthen brand loyalty among this market. You will walk away with cutting edge advice, new research and trends and case studies that will help you better sell to them.
