Over the next 5 years, over
14,000 co-op employees
(approximately 20%) will
be retirement eligible.
As the millennial generation
grows and baby boomers retire,
motivating, engaging, and retaining top
talent are managerial priorities. So what
is the NextGen workforce looking for?
It’s no surprise that they are masters of
digital communication; however, studies
have shown that giving back and being
civically engaged are among their highest
priorities. During this interactive panel
discussion, you will hear firsthand what
drivers motivate and influence the next
generation of technical staff and how
cooperative principles create a
collaborative culture.
