Is it true that millennials cannot stay in their jobs for long, unlike our parents? How about a debate between millennials and the older generation to dissect this topic in depth? This is what the Rotary Club of Adliya’s newest initiative “7ewar” planning on doing.
On November 11th, at the BIBF, 7ewar is hosting its quarterly debate between millennials and generation X to discuss workplace issues, with the aim of bridging the gap between the two generations. In addition to encouraging dialogue and creating innovative solutions to improve productivity.
The debate will have a panel of 3 millennials vs. 3 executive managers. The panelists include:
