Organizational Leadership and the Future of the Workforce

December 28, 2018

Intergenerational professional networking events: By holding intergenerational professional networking events on a quarterly basis, millennials are encouraged to talk with senior professionals outside of their departments. These conversations can help to generate ideas, build trust, and generate support and motivation.
Reverse mentoring opportunities / programs: Often, mentoring relationships consist of a more experienced individual providing guidance or advice to a novice. However, in reverse mentoring situations, the junior professional provides guidance or advice on a specific expertise to the senior professional. This mentoring relationship is gaining more popularity because it encourages individuals from different generations to learn from each other.
Global assignments / short-term projects: Millennials grew up in the digital age without boundaries. The idea of a global perspective is nothing new for this group of up and coming leaders. Global assignments build leadership skills and improve employee retention.
