Emilia van Hauen

Cultural sociologist, board member, author

“Glem alt om at fastholde de unge – det giver ikke mening for den generation. I stedet skal man tænke i tilknytning, som giver helt andre vilkår. Ved at forstå og lære af de unge NU, skaber man ikke blot en bro mellem alle medarbejdere i alle aldre. Man ruster sig også til fremtidens arbejdsplads og den nye form for ledelse, som snart bliver normen.”
