Program Overview:

What makes Gen Y different? What experiences may have influenced their attitudes, values & work styles? What do they need to be successful at work? How can organizations engage & inspire them to maximize their impact & productivity? These questions are becoming increasingly important as the largest generation in history begins entering the workforce.

GEN – Y is multitalented, over stimulated, socially aware, demanding and resourceful. They are also utterly challenging and confusing to the workplace, as well as to their supervisors and managers.

They currently account for approximately 20%-30% of the workforce and therefore, it is very important that managers change their style and mindset while handling Gen –Y in order to take the best out of them and make them more productive towards the overall growth of the organization.

Objective:
The objective of this one-day workshop is to provide participants a comprehensive understanding and practical insight towards how to understand manage Gen – Y at workplace efficiently and effectively in order to get the best out of them for the achievement of organizational goals at large.

Methodology:
The Workshop would be very interactive and would include case studies, interactive exercises, live examples, role plays and Q&A.
Workshop Content :
•    Getting In – sync with Gen – Y “UNDERSTANDING”
In addition, Four generations; Geny-Y, Gen-X, Boomers & Traditionalist are working together under one roof, sensitizing each other towards Demographic Diversity and Inclusion becomes a necessity to have a collaborative working environment.

•    Humanizing Technology in Talent Acquisition ACQUIRE
Hiring Gen-“WHY” has to be the ‘GEN-Y WAY’ only. Being the Internet generation; they are characterized by Agility, Mobility, Social Connect & Innovation rules them. They take advantage of every ounce of technology to make their job search a success and easier. So, are we equipped to handle this Twitter Hooked Yers who demand snazzy and interactive websites, Instant Feedbacks, common courtesy and Social touch.

•    Workplace Enablers for Gen – Y MAKING WORK-PLACE READY
Getting Social with Talent is the MANTRA of the day for this Largely internally driven & self motivated generation. They need enablers in terms of freedom of Expressions & spontaneity in their operations. Key drivers would be having Technology ecosystems similar to what they access in their personal lives, Clear Expectations in terms of Roles & Job clarity, Flexibility, Respect & Recognition.

•    Managing Gen Y Engaging, Retaining & Empowering
Current trends indicate that the majority of twenty-something’s do job-hoping every 18 months, a phenomenon often blamed on restlessness and expectation to move up the ladder quickly. In a recent survey conducted , over 58% of Gen Y rated flexibility as extremely important or very important to them. While we realize, it is not always possible to offer flexibility, you should attempt to where you can.
o    Communication : Gen – Y Style – WHY
o    Managing Work – Life Balance – Flexibility of operations
o    Managing Expectations – Clear career path
