The Millennial Mindset meets COVID Realities – Storm Clouds and Silver Linings

A fresh look at the key Millennial generation from a behavioral and motivational viewpoint, with a focus of what they have in common with those who come from other worlds, other value systems and other generations. We will reflect the post-covid realities of a multi-generational workforce, and we will overlay the realities of modern management with a realistic look at the modern distributed workforce. This will not be a session that is critical of the differences between populations, rather we will focus on parallels and overlapping strengths. We will review how the foundations of finance and accounting are shifting, and how the scarce Millennials are key to making the profession sustainable.
