SESSION DESCRIPTION:
There are powerful new forces at work in the modern workplace, a dynamic driven by the intersection of disruptive technology and a new generation of employees who were raised differently and have different values and expectations.
Canadian Millennials (born 1980–2000) comprise the largest portion of the working-age population, representing more than 10 million Canadians. In a few years, they will be the clear majority of working-age Canadians. Their size and influence mean they are fundamentally changing how we work.
Millennials typically have mixed feelings towards choosing long-haul trucking as a career, and the stereotypes of the industry. Understanding their reluctance and changing their minds will require a new mindset. Through an engaging, data-filled presentation, David will demonstrate that a generational lens is needed to understand the dynamics at play and what it will mean for employers. David will also share results from a survey with Abacus and Trucking HR Canada on millennial perceptions of the trucking and logistics sector.
