Gen Y workers in a busy office

Why Gen Y? Plugging Into a Generational Powerhouse at SHRM 2011

 

“What words come to mind when I say “Gen Y”? Aaron Kesher asked the many SHRM 2011 attendees packed into the room.  “Entitled!” shouted one person. “Job hoppers,” chimed in another.

This is Heavy, Doc: Leadership Lessons from Michael J. Fox

I’m going back to the future to start my SHRM 2011 Conference recap posts at the end of the conference, because frankly, hearing Michael J. Fox deliver the final general session yesterday was the highlight of my SHRM experience. (Now had I won an iPad, this might be an entirely different post….)
