A growing number of employers are having significant challenges when they employ younger workers (under 40s). In this interesting and practical webinar, we will look at why there can be a “generation gap,” the science behind the adolescent brain and a large number of practical tools to overcome and work through many of the challenges employers have.

This webinar will cover…

• What are some of the latest neuroscience findings about the changes that occur when the adolescent brain undergoes a redevelopment before the age of 30.
• What are some of the latest cultural and societal trends that may surprise older adults, such as drinking and drug use in high school students has halved in the past two decades! (Youth 2000 survey)
• How are working from home trends impacting the workplace?
• Why do a lot of younger workers struggle to understand consequences?
• What can you do about younger workers who “complain about everything?”
• How to tackle the “woke” vs “boomer” mentality.
• Why do many employers struggle with workers between the ages of 30-40?
