How are you attracting and retaining young leaders? Is your talent management strategy aligned with the current needs of Millennials and Gen Z in 2021?

Despite the pandemic, the job market is heating up again as organisations move to hiring new talent. At the same time, the Great Resignation is taking place — one in three Millennials are planning to quit their jobs once the pandemic ends, following burnout, a crisis of purpose and concern about career growth.

In light of this global need for talent, companies need to rethink their talent management strategy, especially in a remote economy where young people have more opportunities to choose from and therefore can make more demands.

As more Millennials and Gen Z dominate the workforce, organisations, leaders and HR professionals need to adapt practices to attract, excite and empower this talent pool.

• What attracts and excites Millennials and Gen Z? Is it the environment, a leader, the perks and flexibility of the job, work models?

• In large organisations, how do they attract and retain talent? What is harder, attracting or retaining?
• How do start-ups and small companies compete for talent?
• Mental health is often a key demand by Millennials. What should a corporate conversation on mental health and wellbeing look like to destigmatise the issue? What needs to be offered companywide to reduce stress and maintain wellbeing?
• How should companies handle values such as environmental consciousness, discrimination, social equality, and business societal impact?
