How to succeed with millennial associates

From Nov. 2-4 at the JW Marriott Houston Downtown, we will be holding our Associate Summit, a two-and-half-day conference on the various aspects of recruiting and retaining associates.

We produce and deliver this summit because we fully understand that associates and associateships are very difficult and exceedingly challenging. By presenting speakers and panelists who have deep expertise and experience in the area of associateships, attendees get direct knowledge and wisdom of this difficult and many times uncertain domain of associates and associateships.

Like it or not, your company’s future performance, negotiable value and operational value are becoming more and more determined by millennials.

The deeper understanding you have of millennials, the better your leadership, management and structures for working with them. The more you understand them, the better your communication and relationships will be with them. The better your communication and relationships are with millennials, the greater their levels of commitment and responsibilities will develop.
