Editorial Reviews: 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!

Understanding the Millennial Mindset March 22, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Lisa Orrell's new book offers fantastic insights into the millenial mind. If you are a manager, supervisor, or team lead with younger workers, after reading this book you will find you are able to better understand and connect with this segment of your team. Have you ever been stunned to have a parent show up at an interview? Are you frustrated that your new hires are already insisting on flextime? If so, this is a book you need on your bookshelves! Cindy Ventrice author of Make Their Day! Employee Recognition That Works This book should be called the Millennials Recipe for Success! March 11, 2008 Millennials Incorporated As a 20-year HR professional, and now employee benefits specialist, I found this book to be filled with great insights. Now I give it to clients as a gift and they always comment on how informative it was. It's an essential millennials recipe for success. Jenny Vonderwerth, HR and Benefits Consultant, CA Lic. #0E54998, Liberty Benefit Insurance Services Lisa get's it! February 16, 2008 I have had the pleasure of hearing Lisa speak numerous times about Millennials in the workplace today. Lisa understands where this generation comes from and what motivates them. She's witty and entertaining and her book is a fun, yet eye opening experience for anyone working with Millennials today. Catherine Cifford Co-founder YourOnRamp.com Author, Your Career OnRamp A Must Read for All November 13, 2007 If you work on teams, manage or lead people, you must read this book. Lisa has done a great deal of research, and hands you practical assistance we all need in working with the new milennials. And they are a different breed of cat! Also check out her earlier work called Chickonomics - it's also a great read filled with practical tips on this growing workforce segment. Essential for HR Executives and anyone involved in hiring November 13, 2007 2 out of 3 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.
