Definitive characteristics of the highly connected newest members of the workforce: Let’s welcome your new team: Hello, Gen Z!

Managing the incoming group of Gen Z employees presents a golden opportunity for a savvy and sensitive school leader. Let’s face it: not only are they not going anywhere :) but soon they will be our parent consumers too! Embracing a generation that averages 100 or more texts a day, and easily multitasks using 5 screens simultaneously, with an attention span of 8 seconds, certainly is a challenge! Kathe Petchel from Hinge Advisors Client Relations team will lead an entertaining and thought-provoking presentation that includes strategies for embracing the sometimes quirky, socially responsible, family-oriented Z’s.

Key concepts we’ll cover: 

• Overview of 5 Generations in the Workplace
  
• Gen Z age ranges and descriptions
  
• How and Why Gen Z is Different from every other generation
  
• Attracting Gen Z to your Team- 5 Key Elements
  
• Managing a Gen Z staff member without discouraging them
  
• Incorporating Gen Z onto your team: Wishes, Hopes, and Dreams and their favored language of appreciation
  
• Professional Development opportunities for your Gen Z team
  
• Planning ahead: Generation Z will soon surround us as employees and parents. What should we put in place now? 
  
• Tik Tok creators
