Embracing the Culture Era: An Updated Guide to Leading Today’s New Workforce

Amidst the continued challenges of attracting and retaining talent, leaders are grappling with disengaged
employees who no longer respond to traditional management styles. The former one-size-fits-all approach has
become obsolete as today’s team members each require a personalized care plan. This demands more time and
attention from already overloaded leaders, who have the most influence on whether people stay or go.

We must prioritize culture and lead differently to meet the unique needs of today’s workforce. Join us to explore the new Magnet Culture guide to create a place where people want to work.

It's Not About Birth Year: The Evolution of Employees from A to GenZ

We will also dispel myths about younger workers’ perceived lack of professionalism and work ethic.

Magnet Culture’s award-winning generational lens provides valuable insights to navigate key challenges and
opportunities presented by today’s new workforce. It’s time to create a workplace that more effectively manages

Workforce Wake Up Call

Finding and keeping lasting talent today is harder than ever because the employer-employee relationship has
evolved dramatically since the days of lifelong pensions. While organizations can reduce employee turnover, they
cannot eliminate it, which means staffing challenges – and their financial impact – are here to stay. We’ve
reached a tipping point now where managers and employees can no longer “do more with less,” and still meet
organizational goals and customer expectations, so bold changes are needed moving forward for organizations
planning to remain in business.

While many industries have normalized business practices that are no longer effective for managing today’s new
workforce, executives hold the power to recalibrate to a more sustainable approach that balances operations
and our people. Join us to explore the new Magnet Culture guide to operationalize unavoidable turnover and
keep the staff we cannot afford to lose by creating a place where people want to work.

Explore the perspective of today’s new hires to avoid the growing disconnect between leaders and staff

Reconsider organizational priorities, budgets, and systems to improve ROI on retention initiatives

Create sustainability by determining improvements to workloads, organizational structure, and compensation

This session will energize and empower your entire team to reduce “us versus them” conflicts at work. Participants
will leave this powerful, engaging session with a renewed sense of commitment to the organization and ownership
in the retention solution. Our people are our greatest retention advocates, so let’s all attract others onto our
teams, instead of repelling the talent we can’t afford to lose.
