The program on the multigenerational workplace Dr. Taylor presented was right on the money for our state wide economic development conference. He clearly understands the generational issues in the workforce, from the statewide level all the way to day-to-day interactions. His suggestions will help a lot of our attendees in recruitment, retention and management.

Dr. Taylor’s program on the multigenerational workplace was right on target for our Chamber members. It was well researched and totally up to date. Everyone loved how he kept participants engaged and provided super valuable content and suggestions.
