Gen Z, the latest generation to enter the workforce, stands out from other generations. Hosts Wendy Fong and Monique Akanbi sit down with Keri Mesropov, founder, Spring Talent Development, at SHRM INCLUSION 2024 to discuss considerations for Gen Z at work, the value they bring, and how HR professionals and leaders can best integrate them into the workforce.
Founder, Spring Talent Development
Keri Mesropov is the Founder of Spring, a talent development agency launching young careerists and cultivating multi-generational workforces. Data, research, and results driven in its practice, Spring exists to help organizations optimize the generational diversity of their teams toward not-yet imagined future success. Delivering culture assessments and consulting, one-on-one advisories, and skill-building workshops, Spring’s work today spans the business landscape of corporations, hospitality, entertainment, and social non-profits.
Prior to launching Spring, Keri was the Chief Talent Officer for TRG Arts, one of the world’s most influential consulting firms dedicated to the arts, where she created unique organizational culture initiatives that optimized productivity and creativity while motivating and retaining top talent.
Before becoming TRG’s first-ever Chief Talent Officer, Keri served as Vice President of Client Service and as a senior consultant for TRG, leading teams for consulting, database management, and business intelligence services. As consultant and VP, she advised theater, ballet, orchestral, and Broadway producing organizations on how to build resiliency through data-driven strategies in consumer relationships, financial stability, organizational frameworks, and people-centric teams. She led a VIP portfolio that included New York City Ballet, the Chicago Symphony, Toronto International Film Festival, Boston Ballet, and the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
Known for her expertise in developing Gen Z professionals, Keri was a Professional in Residence at her alma mater, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, in the College of Journalism and Mass Communications’ new Experience Lab, where she worked with students to build their leadership skills. She currently serves as an Advisory Council member for the Nebraska Women’s Leadership Network as well as on the board of The Dance Archive at the University of Denver. In 2022 she received the prestigious Woman of Courage, Character and Commitment award from UNL’s Women’s Center.
Keri’s thirty years of experience in administration has included executive leadership roles at Colorado Ballet, The Washington Ballet, Washington Performing Arts, and the Trey McIntyre Project.
