And, Lisa has also included real-world examples of innovative strategies well known companies are using to improve their recruiting and retention of Millennial talent.
TESTIMONIALS:
This book is the best resource I have seen on how to communicate, hire and retain the new generation of young professionals. Everyone is talking about the generational differences, but Lisa Orrell has done the research and has come up with practical, easy to implement solutions on how to effectively communicate and motivate this generation and how those of us from different generations (especially the baby boomers) can learn from them as well. This book is well written and should be a handbook for anyone involved in the recruitment of personnel and for anyone who manages people. As a HR professional, I found the book not only educational (lots of aha moments!) but also fun to read.
