Managing Gen Y's in the Childcare industry
Yesterday I spoke with members of the Childcare industry about managing their young staff. Before the presentation, I made some phone calls to some young Childcare workers about their jobs, their place of work and their career directions. What I found was that most Childcare centres offer great working environments for Generation Y employees. They offer great teams to work with, caring bosses, opportunities to speak their mind during team meetings, job variety and career pathway opportunities - many things that Gen Y employees look for in a workplace.
For Childcare centres that struggled to engage with their Gen Y employees much of this started with immediate managers not knowing how to motivate these young employees. Incentives such as developing their social and career skills, offering them more responsibility within the Childcare centre and bascially just getting to know more about who they are. Gen Y's really respond to caring, attentive and inspiring leaders who care about them and the workplace they work for - are you a role model manager?
