The Making of Me
Yesterday, I attended at the Making of Me Women's Leadership Day in Perth.
I presented the session "How to tame the Corporate Rebel AKA Gen Y employee" and it was a catalyst for interesting discussions throughout the rest of the day about how we engage with Generation Y employee's in the workplace.
Some of the points that I made were:
Gen Y employees are looking for community not colleagues. They want their work to be an extension of their life and therefore their colleagues to be their friends.
Gen Y employees are also looking for mentors not bosses. They are interested in people who are interested in them! Get them involved in mentoring programs in your business and take time to get involved in their world too.
Finally they are looking for opportunity not status quo. Gen Y love (and demand) change in the workplace. They love new projects, new technologies, new training and often!
We aren't that different in the workplace, are we?
