Jan 18    Lunch & Learn: Hiring and retaining millennials
Real world problems: hiring and retaining millennials. What to expect and how to curb the impending struggle.
Presented by Ryan Bonner, Brightline IT

By 2025, 70% of the workforce will be millennials. Many current business owners are frustrated with the way millennials engage with the rest of the workforce, and most millennials have different expectations than employees who entered the workforce just ten years ago.

In this workshop, Ryan will discuss why these inflated expectations are occurring, what employers can expect and how to bridge this gap in hiring, understanding and communication.

Presentation with questions and discussion.

Cost for the program is $20, and includes lunch.
