The Millennials Are Coming!

Actually, they’re already here. These amazing workers want to change the world – and they will!

Organizations will need to change the way they do business if they are going to attract and retain these new workers. Companies must understand the differences among the four generations currently in the workplace and experienced managers must update their motivational and leadership strategies to get the most from this upcoming workforce.

That is the objective of The Millennial Challenge, to help managers get the most from their new Millennial workers. We will do this through a unique discussion that starts with an introductory presentation and then moves to an interactive discussion with MCHRA members. It's one of the most unique, interesting, and engaging presentations you'll ever see!

Learning Objectives
1. Recognize and describe the different generations in today's workplace.
2. Explore how each generation can effectively work together.
3. Understand the strengths and weaknesses of Millennial workers.
4. Explore strategies for hiring, retaining, developing, and motivating Millennial workers.

"Wage and Hour Compliance: What HR and Your Organization’s Supervisors Need to Know."

The presentation will also include tips and preventative measures for avoiding claims and violations and identify common compliance issues such as after-hours works, payment of bonuses or commissions, and time clock rounding. The presentation will also address the nature of FLSA litigation, including the defense of such claims and the importance of resolving meritorious claims expeditiously.
