Keynote Overview:

Why are seasoned leaders struggling to hold their younger workforce accountable for productivity? Due to the threat of leaving, 64% of leaders state they’re “fearful to hold their younger workforce accountable.” Yet, Dr. Wessinger’s proprietary research and implementation experiences emphatically reveal that the younger workforce wants to be held accountable for productivity. There’s a structure of accountability that every leader must implement to drive high levels of productivity and achieve desired growth results with the younger workforce. In this talk, Dr. Wessinger will equip you with informed, tested, and practical solutions to attract, engage, and retain your younger workforce.
