Just as you’re getting used to dealing with Generation X, along comes the next demographic group. Generation Y, as some call it, is composed of those born after 1977. What are they looking for from their employers?
Here’s how Generation Y college students answered one survey when asked what they wanted in their first jobs:
- A fun work environment
- Growth opportunities
- Competitive salary
- A wide range of projects to work on
- Good benefits, including healthcare, profit sharing, and 401(k)
- Opportunities to learn and develop new skills, paid for by the company
- Travel opportunities
- Flexible work schedules
Whether born in 1950 or 1980,
when people are happy at work,
they are more productive and engaged
about the well being of the company.
For keynote addresses, seminars, and/or worships on managing and integrating Generation Y into your workforce, contact Dianne Durkin at Loyalty Factor. She has researched and presented on this topic for over 7 years and her dynamic presentation style clearly articulates the message .
