Register  

Note:  This is a Joint webinar between NIFAD and CCFS, and made possible thanks to the generosity of our sponsors Johnson Controls and Potter.

Abstract: 

Gen Z is no longer the generation of tomorrow but rather the generation of today. Many are just graduating from college, and their values and work style significantly differ from their Millennial, Gen X, and Baby Boomer predecessors. Supporting them now will help ensure companies stay relevant for Gen Z and generations beyond. 

In this keynote, Dima Ghawi shares key insights to effectively lead Gen Z in the workplace. She explores specific strategies that equip audiences with the tools to support Gen Z employees, including implementing diverse channels of communication and developing organizational policies that prioritize social justice and mental well-being. Through actionable tips and engaging examples, Dima ultimately guides attendees to a fuller understanding of what Gen Z values in a work culture and how organizations can attract, retain, and engage the generation of today. 

Key Attendee Takeaways:

  • Actionable tips, addressing topics from mental health to personal scheduling, that will ensure Gen Z thrives in the workplace.
  • Specific techniques to guide Gen Z in their college-to-workplace adjustment.
  • Best practices for creating a more productive and inclusive workplace for employees of all ages.

Learning Objectives:

  • What Gen Z employees are looking for and how to integrate these needs into management styles and organizational policy. 
  • How to motivate and engage Gen Z in the workplace.
