TOP TIPS SUMMARY

Be aware that in two years, Gen Y will compose 75% of the global workforce, the dominant force by some margin.
A variety of factors, including parenting styles and economic environment shape the attitudes, aspirations, beliefs, and behaviours of different generations. It's helpful to understand these differences.
Be aware that workforce mobility is increasing. Effort will be needed to attract and retain talent.
Check assumptions about what Gen Y mean when they talk about development and working from home. Be curious to properly understand their perspective.
Engaging different voices and perspectives can be helpful in finding optimum solutions and engaging your workforce.
It's vital that different generations in the workforce work to understand each other and learn from each other.
Reverse mentoring can be hugely effective in facilitating this.
Creating a more humane, kind and purpose driven work culture brings benefit for all.
