Jonathan’s presentation is titled “Millennial Engagement in Health Consumerism” which will help attendees to engage and educate the millennials in their workplace in their health. More and more millennials are joining the workforce, so much so that in an estimated four renewal cycles they will comprise close to half the workforce. This generation has the potential to shift current consumer behaviors, as they are open to learning new technologies, communication channels and even ways of navigating the healthcare delivery system. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to better understand the millennials in your workplace.

“The millennial generation has characteristics and values that make them primed to be the first-generation who navigate the health care system as a proactive consumer,” said So. “Employers need to engage this group early and often as they develop the purchasing habits that are going to shape in the industry moving forward.”
