Millennials may be the most poked and prodded generation ever—and still much of conventional wisdom about how to create a great workplace for this giant cohort is wrong. Come to this session to hear from a company that has gotten it right. Technology giant Cisco not only has been a Best Workplace for Millennials each of the past four years, but the company’s place on the list has jumped from #98 to #9 in 2019. Ted Kezios, Cisco’s Vice President of global benefits, and Katie Porter, a millennial who leads professional development in the company’s Early Career Network, will share Cisco’s impressive story. Among other things, they will touch on the company’s increased focus on a culture based on diversity, trust and giving back.
They also will highlight challenges along the way and how the company’s success with millennials is part of a broader culture that works for all generations and all geographies—after all, Cisco was the #1 World’s Best Workplace in 2019. This session also will feature insights from Great Place To Work’s recent study on millennials.
