THE CULTURE OF AWESOME

MILLENNIALS ARE SAD.

They have been told they can do anything.But turns out it’s hard.

MY GOAL: NOT BORING, DIDN’T SUCK, INTERACTIVE, MADE YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR CURRENT AND FUTURE EMPLOYEES AND RECRUITS

What is the demographic make -up of your company?

Is your social media policy outdated? Do

you need it?

What’s your EVP? Are you green? Offer

training? WFH? Feedback?

Are you tapped into the global

workforce?

Are you optimizing your data? Using it to

predict and anticipate behavior?

The robots are coming!

Do you understand changing attitudes toward work and

everything?

How responsive are you? Is your

organization fast, informal?

THANK YOU!
