Learn from Groupon's experience in making engagement and development programs relevant to the largest generational cohort in the workforce
Ask a millennial and they will tell you that the key to success is learning. They are desperate for feedback and opportunities to make an impact. Perhaps WHAT they want is no different from other generations, but HOW they want it is a paradigm shift. This generation, the one who grew up Googling the answer or just reading the Wikipedia entry, needs a very different approach to talent development. And, when it comes to creating a great place to work - empowerment, mission, and support are at the forefront. During this session you will:
- Learn about Groupon’s key initiatives to engage and grow their managers.
- Hear what our employees say about what makes Groupon great; and
- Discover the big lessons learned on the journey.
