Working with Millennials…Worth the EffortAmeritrade Commercial : Stewart (feat. Mike Maronna) ‐ YouTube

Provide a career path and good mentors –great training a must

Make work meaningful

Set goals and measure progress

Praise in public…

Use continuous appraisals, straight feedback

Offer more than compensation incentives; customizable rewards

Don’t forget to be a manager!

We Must Recruit and Retain Top Talent in Order to CompeteHiring the right person for the job is only the first step.

We are no longer in an era where all a manager has to do is hire good people and pay them a fair (or almost fair) wage to keep them working for you.

Managers must provide a blend of benefits and company culture that works together to do what essentially boils down to keeping people happy. 

The best employees in any industry will always have a job.

You can’t find loyal employees, you’ve got to build them.

Examine Your Company’s Culture

•Team environment (including top management)

•Creativity and innovation – variety of perspectives

•Openness of communications (authenticity and inclusion are critical)

•Propensity for action and change – great coaching and support systems

•Employee and customer participation

•Respect for the individual

•Flexible schedules and open office designs

Examples of Changes Happening During the “Innovation” Era… NOW

Major predictions as we move to 2020:◦ Hiring/promoting will be based on reputation capital;

◦ Your workplace will revolve around technology, mobile devices;

◦ Job requirements for CEOs will include blogging;

◦ Corp. trainers will use simulations and alternate reality as key delivery models;

◦ HR focus will move from outsourcing to crowdsourcing; geography not a limit;

◦ Lifelong learning will be a business requirement;

◦ Corporate social responsibility will be used to attract and retain employees;  diversity will be a business issue; Organization needs strong values;

◦ Social media literacy will no longer be an option;

◦Work‐life flexibility will become commonplace

What Does this Mean for Managers?

New hires will be using technologies much farther ahead than the companies hiring them.

Managers can now acquire, and integrate talent from around the world.   

There are a host of new opportunities and threats.Must become “learning” organizations.“Average is Over”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRWhUCjFqvU

Time‐to‐market is more crucial than ever. Growing need for cyber security and soft skills.Must structure appropriately for an overall e‐strategy – otherwise 

the e‐project is likely to fail.

Recruiting for Success

Evaluate your recruiting tools… The “Best job on the block?” Pay attention to security and seniority (who is leaving, why?; 

who is NOT leaving, why not?) Best practices:  Centralized HR, innovative, technology 

intensive, focused recruiting

Re‐evaluate your hiring practices – Need new strategies for hiring and retaining (EI)

Develop a “marketing” plan for recruiting … Get Creative “ABR” Focus on Key Metrics
