  • Generation Z (Zoomers) in the Workplace

    Mary Erlain, President, Peak Development Strategies

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Business

    We have taken a generation and placed them in a boat, we gave them no navigation system, no map, no destination, and no plan. We set them in an ocean filled with icebergs and sharks and told them to figure it out. Based on the new book, The Zoomers Book, the presentation addresses the fact that this generation is "not wrong, just different" and how to navigate them and encourage them in our workplace. We offer hope and a plan that is further explained in the future book The Zoomer Project. So if you are confused about how to help this future generation and truly want to help them become the productive individuals they can be, then this presentation is for you. The first step in helping someone is to learn who they are and not rely on assumptions. MORE >
