Episode Summary           Why this show?           Introduction to the show           Looking at generations from different lenses           Bust the myth of “We can’t find good people”The myth of “we can’t find good people” is alive and well. There are plenty of older workers who are not up to par, but even more troubling is the lack of young talent. Businesses have done next to nothing to replace boomers with Gen Z and younger Millennials. The show explores the challenges in finding talented employees and what companies are doing to succeed.Contact your hosts:Steve Doyle:Website: https://stephendoylejr.com/LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/stephendoylejrEmail: [email protected]     Brad Herda:Website: https://www.vfbsolutions.com/LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/brad-herdaEmail: [email protected]   This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrpOP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Today, Gen Z has well over twenty different ways to hear and to get communication of information. As the workplace evolves, what is the adoption of communication and who is expected to adopt it? The elders expect the younger to adapt to them and the younger are not aware of how to adapt to them. The digital transition is a difficult transition for both retirees and millennials.Contact your hosts:Steve Doyle:Website: https://stephendoylejr.com/LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/stephendoylejrEmail: [email protected]     Brad Herda:Website: https://www.vfbsolutions.com/LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/brad-herdaEmail: [email protected] podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrpOP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy
