We are hearing a lot of discussion in the global employment markets about Generation X and Generation Y. The growing concern of an ageing population for companies around the world is now more at the forefront of internal talks and strategy discussions. In the next 5 years a lot of companies will see so much of their knowledge base and skills retire.
We are in a time of great change and shift in the employment market. Companies must embrace a new type of employee…….Generation Y!! GenY is now the largest demographic in most European countries.
So who is Gen Y? What are they looking for? They have been written and talked about a lot in HR and general media, so far it seems a little bit like all talk and no action. How do we identify a Gen Y, they are aged between 9 – 29 (1978 – 1998) They have been raised by the Baby Boomer generation and raised with the opinion everything is possible, and they will settle for nothing else.
As a phenomenon they are very complicated and full of contradictions, they are the most advanced generation when it comes to technology and are exceptionally creative; mobile in location and care about the world they live in. They live in a world where they look for and want instant gratification but also demand development and learning for the long-term. They value money over their relationships and are a generation which thinks like entrepreneurs. You are most probably thinking this is very confusing, but it’s the future.
Antal International is linking closely with the media, to voice opinion and influence industry across the world about these changes. And we are driving research that will be crucial in ensuring that our client base does not get left behind by globe-trotting Generation Y. We have recently conducted a detailed survey of 10,000 Gen Y candidates geared around what they look for in a company and how they find a new job.
Antal International is geared to help you bridge the generations. We have formed partnerships with companies that are constantly profiling and gathering data from Gen Y-ers.
We offer a free initial consultation and advice on ensuring you are a Gen Y friendly/attractive business. We want our clients to know how to attract Gen Y-ers and what they can do to keep them. We have developed unique concepts that can be easily implemented.
