Topic: How to Future-Proof Your Company: Engaging Generations Y to Z
Millennials have begun a positive disruption in the workplace that will continue in the generations after them, and while many companies have still not adapted their culture to millennials, a whole new generation is ready to enter the workplace.
In this presentation, Dima shares lessons derived from her experience globally training, developing, and engaging over 500 millennials for IBM and other Fortune 100 companies. She explores the keys to unlocking the millennial mind in order to better engage them in the workplace, give them the purpose they crave in their work, and inspire them to overachieve. Dima guides the audience members through a shift in perception that is essential in order to prepare companies for Gen Z.
By bridging the disconnect between generations, companies will be able to harness the creative and innovative talents of their employees while keeping them dedicated to the company’s mission.
PLUS: All attendees will receive a signed copy of her book, Breaking Vases: Shattering Limitations and Daring to Thrive: A Middle Eastern Woman's Story!
