Special Accommodations
Much has been written about Generation Y (a.k.a., "Millennials"), a group defined roughly as individuals who were born in the late 1980s and 1990s. They are also the generation that will comprise 40% of the workforce by 2020 as the Baby Boomers fade into senior- and assisted-living communities. The Wall Street Journal wrote about this subject a few weeks ago, and it found that many employers are experiencing higher turnover of Millennials because this group feels that there is too much bureaucracy, not enough communication or utilization of their talents and not enough fun! Gen Y would also like the option to leave the office at 2:00 PM and continue the work day at the local Starbucks. The rub for Boomers is that more companies are jumping through hoops to accommodate Gen Y demands for faster promotions, greater responsibilities and more flexible work schedules. However, there is more to this than just a new generational attitude; it is also the confluence of the Gen Y bubble, its fresh attitudes and new approaches using explosive new technologies and cloud-based platforms that enable an approach to business with incredible flexibility. Any employer or co-worker who doesn't get this new organizational paradigm is in for a rude awakening.
