Workplace Futurist
Bani Dheer, a researcher and trends analyst, is a nationally recognized expert on North America’s youth demographic. Bani conducts research on young consumers, employees and citizens between the ages of 18 and 34. She has directed two nation-wide alcohol reduction campaigns targeting college and university students and has extensive experience conducting behavioral research to eliminate tobacco use among teens. She designed and directed the first national study on Canadian ethnic youth for the Federal Department of Heritage and developed a strategy for increasing volunteerism and civic engagement among this group.
Aside from her research duties, Dheer regularly speaks to commercial and public sector organizations about effective strategies for engaging Gen X and Gen Y youth. She has advised Ernst & Young, Nortel Networks, Rogers AT&T, and the Federal Department of Transport on developing effective attraction and retention strategies targeting young employees. And she was recently invited by the Secretary General of the New Zealand Public Service Association to share her experiences with the Directors of New Zealand’s public service union.
In her forthcoming book, "The Future of Work," Bani identifies seven trends shaping the future direction of the workplace and the increasingly widespread demand for more meaningful work.
Bani holds a B.A. and an LLB, both from the University of British Columbia.
