For Business Owners with Staff this is an event you won't want to miss. Ready to crack the Gen Z code? Join us for insights and tools on hiring and retaining today's workforce.
GENERATION NEXT
Gen Z is here – and they’re asking big questions.
What’s the purpose of work? Does loyalty count for anything? And will a full-time job really satisfy their desires?
This is the first generation that won’t be satisfied with pay-rises and promotions. If you want to secure the future of your workforce, you need to engage in a whole new way.
A self-described “recovering millennial”, Jehan Casinader explains how we can use powerful storytelling to attract and retain younger staff.
How can we get beyond the stereotypes – “lazy”, “impatient”, “unmotivated” – and understand what young people really want?
And how can we have honest conversations with our own children about their caree development?
This sharp, entertaining presentation will transform the way you communicate with the next generation of staff, clients and customers.

ABOUT JEHAN
Jehan Casinader is a journalist, keynote speaker and mental health advocate.
He was named “Reporter of the Year” at the New Zealand Television Awards, and “Best Political Columnist” at the Voyager Media Awards.
In the aftermath of natural disasters, terror attacks, sporting triumphs and everything in between, Jehan has helped hundreds of Kiwis to share their deeply personal stories with the rest of the country.
Now one of the country’s most-booked speakers, Jehan is a respected voice in the areas of wellbeing, leadership and workplace culture.
