Overview:
Within the next seven years, 50% of the British workforce will be made up of ‘Generation Y’ - children of the 80s and 90s. They are characterised as lazy, with low attention spans and in need of instant gratification. In reality they are the most highly educated, widely travelled and globally connected generation to have entered the workplace. This forum will address how you and your organisation can adapt to this revolution. Making the most of Linked-in, Twitter and Facebook are some of the many digital media options that will be covered on the day.
