iPods in their ears. Flip flops on their feet. Meet your newest employee? Yep! That’s right. Generation Y is here. 
Otherwise known as Millennials or Echo Boomers, 76 million strong, this latest generation to enter the work force is causing quite a stir. Fortune, Business Week, and 60 Minutes are just a few of the big guys to focus on who they are and how to work with them.

A generation that grew up hearing that they were special, getting trophies for participating and being protected with “Baby On Board” signs and antibacterial soap. They believe they can do anything. And their Baby Boomer parents are promoting this...

However, as Baby Boomer bosses, we don’t understand what that means. We don’t get it when parents want to talk to us because we didn’t give their Gen Yer the wage increase they were expecting. We don’t understand it when our Gen Y employee has to take a call from their parent, but our own kids won’t take our call because they are in a meeting.

Understanding how to work with each of the generations currently in the workforce has become critical to recruiting and retention. The number of associations and companies requesting and training on this subject has skyrocketed in the last six months. Are you prepared?
