Product Description
This is the Second Edition of Lisa's popular book and includes a bonus chapter courtesy of Robert Half International & Yahoo! HotJobs' special report about what Gen Y wants in a career. A bonus chapter from the Employee Engagement Network is also included, as well as info about Gen Y from a "global perspective". This Second Edition is loaded with all the info from the First Edition, PLUS lots more! Born in 1982, the Millennial Generation (aka: Generation Y) is no longer made-up of just kids and teens. The eldest are now graduating college and entering the professional workforce en masse! Competition is fierce to recruit them, so this means YOU need to know how to effectively recruit, manage and retain them. Most GenX and Boomer bosses have no clue who these young adults really are or what makes them tick, so they find this book to be extremely valuable! Much was written about Millennials back when they were young kids and teenagers, but Millennials Incorporated is the premier book about who they are NOW as 20-somethings. They are one of the most unique generations our country has ever seen! And with Boomers retiring by the millions over the next 5-15 years, Millennials are in high demand to be our next generation of managers, executives and leaders! Here is a small sample of what you'll learn: -- Key Millennial Traits All Employers Need to Know -- Common Challenges Managers Face With Millennials -- Hot Buttons for Attracting & Recruiting Millennial Talent -- Solid Strategies for Managing & Retaining Millennial Talent -- Sound Solutions for Motivating Millennial Talent...and Some Motivation Busters!

Must read for HR and Marketing Professionals November 13, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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!
Essential for HR Executives and anyone involved in hiring November 13, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is the best resource I have seen on how to communicate, hire and retain the new generation of young professionals.
Everyone is talking about the generational differences, but Lisa Orell has done the research and has come up with practical, easy to implement solutions on how to effectively communicate and motivate this generation and how those of us from different generations (especially the baby boomers) can learn from them as well. This book is well-written and should be a handbook for anyone involved in the recruitment of personnel and for anyone who manages people. As a HR professional, I found the book not only educational (lots of aha moments!) but fun to read.
Learn About Our Future Workforce...Buy This Book! November 13, 2007
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.
 My Job Just Got Easier November 13, 2007
As a high-tech hiring manager, filling open positions has nearly become a full time job because the competition for the right talent is so fierce. Millennials Incorporated gave me incredible insights into how this generation thinks, how they act and what they are looking for in their careers. It didn't take long to read and I am pretty sure my job just got easier. Thank you Lisa Orrell.
A must read guide to understanding Generation Y employees November 13, 2007
If you saw the recent piece on 60 Minutes, you know that millenials are different. 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.
