April Program Meeting

The Millenials are Coming!

Categories: TAHRA Program Meeting

Presented by Darren K. Ford, SPHR

The Millennials are coming!  Actually, they are already here.  These amazing workers want to change the world - and they will!

Organizations must change the way they do business if they are going to attract and retain these new workers. Companies must understand the differences among the four generations currently in the workforce and experienced managers must update their motivational and leadership strategies to get the most from this upcoming employee.

That is the objective of The Millennial Challenge, to help organizations blend these unique workers with the rest of their workforce.  Through an interactive discussion, we will explore current thoughts and attitudes toward the Millennial worker, review some research revolving around this generation, and identify some strategies for hiring, managing, developing, and retaining Millennial workers.

At this program you will learn:

  • How to recognize and describe the different generations in today's workplace.
  • The strengths and weaknesses of Millennial workers
  • How to uncover strategies for hiring, retaining, developing and motivating Millennial workers.

Texas and started NexGen Leadership, a

Most recently, Darren worked for a large financial organization, first as the Director of Employee Development and later as Vice President of Culture & Engagement. In this role, Darren led the charge to develop a corporate culture that would allow employees to be happy and satisfied while doing their best work.

Darren now leads ProCulture Consulting, an organization dedicated to helping companies build engaging cultures and engaged employees.  PCC emphasizes several areas including customer service, front line and leadership development, corporate culture, employee engagement and TAHRA's topic, Managing Millennials.
