2020 marks not only the start of a New Year but a new decade. The decade of the multi-generational workforce is here: Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y – also known as Millennials – and Generation Z.  Different aspirations, different characteristics, different leadership styles and different ways of working.  The world of work is changing and employers and organisations need to adapt.  In this informative and engaging session Caroline Rainbird, Chief Executive Officer and David Blackburn, Chief People Officer of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) will share both their personal and organisational journey of responding to the changing landscape: how they turned these challenges into a workplace vision that has delivered improved business performance.
