Lunch & Learn: Talent Talks - What YP's Are Looking For in an Employer

February 12, 2026 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (CST)

Description

What do today’s young professionals really want from an employer, and how can organizations evolve to attract, engage, and retain them? 

Join us for Talent Talks: What YPs Look For in an Employer, a dynamic lunch & learn featuring a panel of young professionals, college students, and employers who are shaping, and responding to, the modern workforce. 

This candid conversation will explore expectations around workplace culture, flexibility, career growth, leadership, purpose, and communication, straight from the voices living it every day.

Designed for HR professionals, people leaders, managers, and executives, this session goes beyond assumptions and buzzwords to uncover what truly matters to the next generation of talent. Panelists will share real-world perspectives on where gaps exist between employers and emerging talent, and, more importantly, how to bridge them. 

You’ll walk away with: 

  • Insight into what attracts and retains young professionals today 
  • A better understanding of generational expectations and evolving workplace priorities 
  • Practical ideas to strengthen recruitment, engagement, and retention strategies 
  • Opportunities to ask questions and learn directly from YPs and future talent 

Whether you’re struggling to fill positions, retain early-career employees, or simply want to stay ahead of workforce trends, this conversation will leave you better equipped to build a workplace where young professionals want to grow and stay.
