  • Gen Y Personal Development Group Workshop
  • Gen Y Coaching and Mentoring 1 on 1
  • Gen Y Retention and Employer Understanding

A key, strategy to sustainable profitability in business is the retention of key staff. When key people leave an organisation, they not only lose the talent but on many occasion other important assets including;

  • Key customer relationships   
  • Intellectual Property
  • Key operational knowledge
  • Years of experience which is irreplaceable
  • Key networking relationships
  • Business or project momentum

Generation Y are the sector of the workforce with the highest departures from organisations. GenY are those individuals born between the late 70’s and before 1992.

They are indeed a spirited group with such characterisitics such as;

  • Increased use and familiarity with communications, media, and digital technologies.
  • Peer-oriented due to easier facilitation of communication through technology and the rise of instant communication technologies, such as email, texting, and IM and new media used through websites like YouTube and social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter.
  • Living with their parents for longer than recent generations who push the acceptable boundaries for full adulthood from their mid 20's to early 30's. Many members of Generation Y have chosen to live at home, remain without a family or children, and delay a full career longer than any generation before them.
  • Tend to be competitive sports and life where 'no one loses' and everyone gets a 'Thanks for Participating' trophy and symbolizing a perceived sense of entitlement.
  • Possess great expectations from the workplace and desire to shape their jobs to fit their lives rather than adapt their lives to the workplace.
  • They push for more feedback, responsibility, and involvement in decision making and after the performance discuss and debate the generational differences they have seen.
  • Many employers say Gen-Ys are short on skills, demanding, impatient and far from loyal.
  • Employers recognise their talent but a deep ambivalence towards Gen-Ys poor spelling and grammar, a failure to understand what constitutes appropriate corporate behaviour and poor communication skills are the biggest bugbears.
  • Gen-Ys either don’t know or don’t care about their employers’ lack of enthusiasm for what they have to offer.
  • They are more demanding than other workers when it comes to advancing their careers, and are more likely to ask for a pay rise.
  • If they don’t receive either, they simply leave.
  • Gen Y have the talent and employers want to retain this talent.
  • Employers are bound by salary structures and are loath to upset the relativity.

Sound familiar, then here is a solution that suits both employer and Gen Y emerging executive.

The solution is the Careernav  three course plan to retain high talent and grow tomorrows manager.
