Do you have Gen Ys in your workplace? As employers, we often associate Generation Y (Millennials) with their use of technology, but while technology is an essential part of their lives, there is much more to know about Gen Y. This course provides you with a profile of the Generation Y and how they relate to supervision and other generations in the workplace. We will look at generational behaviors; the forces that shaped Generation Y; their language and communication style; and their work ethic. Strategies for engaging the Gen Y in the workplace while building on their contemporary abilities and how to communicate effectively with them will be covered. Additionally, supervisors of Gen Y workers will discuss ideas and techniques that can be used to help them to develop their Gen Ys into dedicated and productive employees. Leading Millennials is easier than you think!
