If you work with anyone who was born after 1980, you're working with the Millennial Generation. And if you want your company or department to grow and remain successful, you will need to know how to recruit, train, manage, motivate and retain these Millennials. The Hill Group's “Managing the Millennial Generation” Workshop will help you understand what motivates these young workers, how to manage them, work with them and how to form productive relationships. The unique format of this session has two presenters: one fifty-something management-type and one Millennial. Be ready to be informed, engaged and entertained.

Understanding Millennials
The Millennial, like other generations, were shaped by the events, leaders, developments and trends of its time. The rise of instant communication technologies like email, texting, Instant Messaging (IM) and Twittering plus social networking sites like Facebook, may explain The Millennials' reputation for being peer oriented and for seeking instant gratification.
You will leave this session knowing:

• How the Millennials think of themselves and how management thinks of Millennials.
  
• Classic Millennial traits, tendencies and attitudes.
  
• How to identify and resolve communication, work ethic, and etiquette issues.
  
• How classic management techniques can still be effective.
  
• What Millennials and managers can learn from each other.

Managing Millennials
The basics of good management are still effective when managing Millennials. But knowing their preferred communication channels, how to use – or not use – repetition and detailed explanations, and how to take world-views and culture into account, help make you an effective manager of Millennials. To put your new knowledge and skills to work immediately, this workshop also incorporates a custom role-playing session that is fun and memorable.

Training Modules

Training Methodology
This is not a lecture-based workshop. It is a combination of presentations, small group work, role-playing and brainstorming. The Hill Group trainers and facilitators will create and maintain a positive environment of learning and consensus. Our training methodology is to present in front of the attendees for no more than 20 or 30 minutes at a time. Then we arrange the attendees into groups of two, three or five people, depending upon the exercise. These small groups practice their new skills immediately. And they learn from each other's experiences.
