 GENERATION Y
Echo Boomers
Millennials
Digital Generation
Generation Next
BACKGROUND

Born from 1979 1994

Education-minded generation
Family-oriented
Self-esteem generation
Technology savvy
Most socially conscience generation since the 60s
Melting Pot culture
Generation X believes, work is a thing you do to have a life (work doesnt
define their life), (Nagle, 1999). Gen Y on the other hand seems to want a
work-life balance with flexibility to define who they are in their job.
GEN Y MOST VALUE?

Flexibility
Meaningful work
Authenticity
Friendships/Groups of Friends
Living first, working second
Fun
Fast access to information
Experiential activities
The ability to travel the world
Diversity
Social causes
TURNS OFF GEN Y?

Rigidity
Fear of technology
Phony personalities
Being told to pay your dues
The 60 hour work week
A dry, boring environment
Slow response time
Being stuck in a dead end job
Homogenous workforces
Nonchalant attitudes about the
environment
Working first, living second
QUESTION: HOW IS GENERATION Y GOING TO
CHANGE THE WORLD?
Technology (created by Gen Y) will continue to outpace the workforce
Gen Y will redefine organizations from being hierarchical to flat
Organizations will move from classroom based training to on the spot
training
People will be required to become habitual learners in order to stay ahead
Communities, organizations, churches and businesses will be required to
employ 3-4 generations and a cross section of cultures in order to move
forward.
Generation Y leaders will seek collisions in order to make rapid decisions
which will create world change
The way work is done will change (shorter work week and job sharing)
THE BOTTOM LINE

Generation Y possesses many characteristics that are unique in comparison to

past generations. They tend to be excited about their jobs and they'll work
hard and efficiently. They might approach their superiors as equals more than
previous generations did, but firms can take steps to draw a line between
supervisors and friends. Millennials will show a lot of respect for their
supervisors and get the job done when that line is in the sand.
