Next Generation of Leaders

By Cheryl Allen
There is great value in using generational research to effectively inform people practices.

Outside the Mold
Organizations need to reinvent growth strategies by providing opportunities to all levels of employees.
By Meghann Arnold
When it comes to developing a strong workforce, organizations too often provide opportunity to only “traditional” employees: Those who have college degrees and a resume full of experience, volunteerism, and organizational involvement.

Onwards and Upwards
BOK Financial develops key soft skills in younger workers to encourage retention and career growth.
By Stacy Tiger
Like older workers, younger employees greatly value many of the traditional aspects of a high-performing workplace: competitive compensation and benefits, a friendly atmosphere, and the chance to grow and develop. But with their unique circumstances, background, and relative lack of experience, young employees possess different skill sets and tend to approach workplaces with different perspectives compared to their older peers.
