| 11:00 – 11:45 a.m. | Understanding Emerging Talent: Insights About Millennials and Gen Z
The topic of “talent management” has probably never been more relevant for our industry than it is today. Optimizing remote and hybrid work models (and all the associated elements), addressing health concerns and protocols, and managing compensation expectations are just a few of the challenges firm leaders are facing. When it comes to recent college graduates — whether millennials coming out of grad school or Gen Z entering the workforce for the first time — all of these are compounded by the daunting task of understanding a mindset that’s often markedly different from those responsible for attracting, hiring, retaining, managing, and developing this population. Bring your questions for this panel of professionals, as they share perspectives from their years of launching students into their careers.
