Effectively Engaging with Gen Z: Join Our Seminar

As workplaces evolve, so do the dynamics between various generational cohorts. One pressing challenge facing many organizations today is how to effectively communicate and build relationships with Gen Z employees. To address this, the Japan Management Association (NOMA) is hosting a free online seminar titled “Communicating with Gen Z” on July 29, 2025, from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM.
