gen Y advantage

Businesses today must be agile and adept in an increasingly fast paced economy. Workplaces are becoming more diversified where overarching leadership models no longer appeal to the masses. New generations of workers are infiltrating the workforce creating mixed reactions amongst older employees, managers and bosses. Some businesses have worked it out and are reaping the benefits of an energetic and creative new generation of workers. How do you get in on some of the action? Are you stuck with the lazy, entitled new generation of workers that are showing up to work late? Improperly dressed? Not motivated? Wasting time on facebook and social media? Feel like they are running the show and doing it all on their terms? How about ones that decide on the days and times they want to go to work without notice? Or those that don't bother showing up at all? Have you spent valuable time, money and resources to recruit and train young workers only to see them leave within months or a year? You are not alone! Employers, managers, team leaders all are cringing at the thought of younger generations taking over the workforce. Boomers are planning on working well beyond retirement as they fear the capacity of the next generations to take over. Gen Y in particular are renowned for their bad reputation for being difficult to hire and hard to manage. With a mass of Boomers about to retire and gen Y's expecting to take up 40% of the workforce by 2012, employers are left scrambling to recruit and retain talent to fill the gaps. With turnover costing an estimated 50-200% of an employee's annual salary, how prepared are you to fast track the dynamics of today's changing workforce to motivate, engage and retain your employees?
