Are we more alike than we thought?
"A Conversation with the 'Millennials'"
A PANEL DISCUSSION
...

Last month we discussed the coming of age of the learner at work, and nowhere is this more apparent than with our millennials.  This is a group of employees that grew up on a menu of exploding digital media, many of whom processing that bit stream at a faster and faster rate. Others among them entering the workforce better educated than their predecessors. How much do these influences matter? They want feedback, and their abilities acknowledged and rewarded. Are they really that different?

...

According to The Economist, "Businesses are worrying about how to manage different age groups with widely different expectations," and some are taking action on that. Last month, our speaker Dani Jonson with Bersin and Deloitte spoke to that and this month we'll learn Juniper Networks best practices. Previous generations are referred to as Baby boomers, Gen X, and Gen Y; yet Pew Research suggests that this age group resists the "Millennial" label, and the older among them often self-identify as Gen X.

Riddhi Jain

In 2011, with an affinity for numbers, Riddhi Jain entered the University of California, Berkeley, as a Statistics major. Shortly after an internship experience in this field, she realized she needed more than numbers to connect to something greater - to connect to people. As a result, Riddhi pursued degrees in both Social Welfare and Education. The learning that took place while feeding her intellectual and emotional curiosity led her to a role at Juniper Networks.  As a new college graduate, Riddhi brought  powerful perspectives, insights, and initiatives that influenced and impacted leaders within the organization.  With an opportunity to rotate through four areas of marketing and truly understand the business, Riddhi found her ideal role. She was able to integrate her interest for both numbers and people and currently leads market research efforts for the Marketing Analytics and Decision Sciences team. 

Riddhi firmly believes,  If you have knowledge - share it. If you have the power to make a difference - make a difference.  Riddhi believes in empowering individuals and has worked globally and across functions. She has been a leader within her new college grad cohort and serves as a mentor to incoming corporate interns at Juniper.

Outside of work, Riddhi is creative in her crafting, practices Krav Maga,  the art of self-defense, and dedicates time to volunteer at the Massachusetts Youth Leadership Foundation.
