Our Founder’s Story: Sarah Sladek

When I was 4, my brother left for college. He’s a Boomer. I’m a Gen Xer. Our relationship was my first introduction to generational differences.

As I moved into young adulthood, I took on a leadership roles and was often the youngest person in the room. I struggled to be taken seriously, and began to wonder: do the voices of young people matter?

At the time, young people were being dismissed as “slackers”. I decided to do something about it.

I believed young people had value to offer.
I believed multi-generational teams had the capacity to perform better — if only leaders knew how to manage their teams in a rapidly-changing work environment.

In 2002, I started XYZ University to help organizations understand and engage the current workforce majority — Generations X, Y, and Z — and build successful multi-generational teams.

For 20 years, this has been our company’s sole mission and vision.

The future of work is collaborative and inclusive. It’s innovative and inspiring, and the most successful organizations will put people first and stay future focused.

Our Mission

Employee disengagement has remained at an all-time high for the past 20 years. 

The fact is, many organizations simply lack the strategy to engage and manage talent effectively in the 21st century.

That’s where we come in.

If you want a better future for your organization, XYZ U can help you find it.
