Generation Gap When younger workers are hired in the same
department as older workers, the results can be frustrating or
rewarding. What makes the difference is how management decides to
blend the workforces. The 80 million Generation Y workers, called
millennial, who were born after 1977 bring a host of talents to the
office. They generally are skilled at hands-on, experiential
learning and gain skills by attempting to perform a task rather
than by reading a book or attending a lecture. They multicast,
prefer to work alone, accept change readily, and access Information
at all ours of the day.
These work habits are contrary to what older workers have
experienced during their careers. To blend the cultures, managers
must devise methods of fostering coexistence. The project-oriented
nature of IT work appeals to the bright, creative, energetic
millennial, and they perform best when given new technologies and
the freedom to experiment. Enjoying new situations and challenges,
they excel at mentoring less tech-saws workers on using the
Innovative hardware and software and rotating among various
departments to meet new people.
They also thrive in an atmosphere that encourages blobbing
and testing, so the work environment should allow mobile social
networking and communications. What are your thoughts? Do you find
this to be the case at your place of work? I believe the current
increase in new millennial further assist the older population. For
example, as a professional in the Education industry the younger
generations, in my opinion juggle various tasks. However, I feel
the older population can benefit from most millennial by keeping an
open mind to technology. Often times many baby boomers become
resistant to change.
Remotely no adaptation occurs, leading to undue stress of millennial. On another note, millennial may often be underestimated within the workforce due to autonomy. The world has emerged into a new era involving a high demand to remain abreast with frequent changes. I work alongside various baby-boomers and they are never updated with anything.
