Educational and Insightful

Lisa's book provides profound insight on what is being coined the Millennial Generation -- the next wave of young professionals. She describes Millennials as having the potential to be the hardest working and loyal employees, but cautions you that they are often needy and require structure and constant feedback. As a young company that will continue to hirer more and more Millennials, you can't afford to ignore the need to acknowledge this group and more importantly, you need to learn how to nurture these potential new team members. The work force is changing. Are you ready to change with it?

Learn About Our Future Workforce...Buy This Book!

I always swore that I'd never say "These Kids Today..." in disgust because it meant that I was officially OLD. But there are times recently that I have found myself in conversations with CEOs and business leaders that are NOT the most flattering about the younger generation of workers. It is alarming the kinds of negative assumptions and generalizations that many otherwise professional people have attributed in one lump sum to anyone under 30. We certainly didn't like it when those types of generalizations were made about us when we were that age. It's time to STOP this sort of backlash and find ways to understand and welcome the new generation into the workplace. Lisa Orrell's book is just the ticket for gaining the proper perspective on the Millennials. This book includes not just great data about what's ahead but also has concrete tips and techniques for how to recruit, retain, train and motivate these young workers. It also includes some critically important information on how to integrate these folks into your present workforce and get more senior workers to adapt and welcome these newest hires. I recommend this book as one of the very first and best to offer real-life advice on what it takes to integrate the future into your workplace now. Get yours today.

A must read guide to understanding Generation Y employees

They have their own ideas of how they expect to be treated at work and if they are not, they up and leave and go to another company that will meet their demands. So what, you say? Well, watch out because a labor shortage is fast approaching and you are going to have to figure out how to motivate and retain millenials if you want to stay ahead of the business curve. Millenials Incorporated is a great resource book that will quickly give executives and HR managers all the right pointers to not only motivate and retain millenials, but also to maximize the employer-employer relationship. Author Lisa Orrell is providing on-site seminars and workshops to large corporations all over the country that realize this is a must-learn (and quickly) subject. You can have access to all of her tips and tricks and deep expertise at a fraction of the cost by reading this fascinating and helpful book.

Must read for HR and Marketing Professionals

This is a great book to help understand the new generation, what makes them tick and how to manage them. This is the kind of information that a VP of Human Resources would love and I've already recommended this to several HR executives to help them with current recruitment efforts! Also very informative for marketers who need to understand this generation of millenials--working with them, recruiting them and marketing to them!
