Herding cats to the work place
By Mike Elswick
| Thursday, May 8, 2008, 08:22 AM
East Texas employers facing challenges in hiring, retaining and dealing with a new generation of workers may want to mark June 5 on their calendars. That is when Longview Economic Development Corp. will be hosting a free public session featuring Joyce L. Gioia. Dubbed a “strategic futurist,” Gioia is slated to offer useful tips for employers from 9 to 11 a.m. on that Thursday. Her session is titled “Herding Cats: Leading the New Generation Without Losing Your Mind.” She will offer suggestions on dealing with a generation of workers she says are willing to work “night and day - if you know what buttons to push.” She said the younger generation can surprise employers by how productive they can be. For more information contact LEDCO at (903) 753-7878.
