#InterweaveTC They r going to be our work force in next 8-10 years so better get ready for it, real or hype is secondary
#InterweaveTC A1 Or rather we r going to have in India one of the youngest workforce and we r not prepared….
#InterweaveTC A1 It’s real.. The talent supply of future is going to come from Millenials.. Orgs need to appreciate & prepare
#InterweaveTC the other generations are slowing ageing so millennials are taking over, its real see EVERYWHERE, see twitter
Eaxh generation o its own..millenials i do feel have been stereotyped #interweaveTC
A1. There is certainly a shift in work values but behavior is determined more by economic climate. #InterweaveTC
Its real. the Millennials are brought by the tech era where they grew up with abundant opportunities unlike the baby boomers #InterweaveTC
#InterweaveTC A1 Building org towards millennial is step effort.. Make it suitable for Gen X / Y .. will tk it much closure to millennials
#InterweaveTC A1 Another interesting thing is that Generations are now different in 5 years and not a decade…
#InterweaveTC A1 we were different 20 years back and then these are different and next gen g would be more different…may be Gen I (next)
Ajay Venkatesh @venkishenki..absolutely, lots of options and loads of technological assistance
Q2 – How can HR manage the millennial gap – the gap in what HR thinks they want and what they truly want?
#interweaveTC A2 – HR needs to be innovative to look at doing things from a new lense. Old ways may have worked but may not apply in future
tool, processes and policies that enable them , why not have processes built for them, through them (crowdsourcing)
A2 Always older generation welcome the new generation being a critic and lastly they co exist, not buzz neither hype #InterweaveTC
A2. Gratify and Gamify is the way to go for HR while handling millennial #InterweaveTC
#InterweaveTC A2 HR to facilitate the awareness and change in culture and hence the policies affecting employees..
#InterweaveTC No efforts required if d HR can keep their ears to d ground..Instead of going wth d flow,it should BE THE FLOW
#InterweaveTC A2, another imp issue, is grumpiness of Gen X in accepting the change. They need to be coached to pass it on
A2 #InterweaveTC today its easier 2know as millenials r forthcoming with wat they want n v need2 appreciate this attitude
Q3 – What makes them tick? What do they value more?
#InterweaveTC A3 Respect / Freedom / Technology / Quick Turnaround / Meaningful work / Projects / Express Growth
80% want to cont to society, work-life balance, flex work methods (not only time), etc etc r needs #InterweaveTC
@InsideZappos is an apt example of how organization is tuning itself to millennials, #interweaveTC
A3. Freedom to try, more vision, less supervision, more money, less work, #InterweaveTC
#interweaveTC A3 – Millenials value space for thoughts and execution ; respect and encouragement for their work ; time off to unwind
#InterweaveTC A3 Intent, honest one. Freedom. Communication. Empowerment. Feet Forward not Feedback…Many more…
#InterweaveTC A3 Connect with Senior Leadership.. Operating Freedom.. Result oriented work..Higher Education..
#InterweaveTC A3 contd.have interests outside of work so flexi work is big for them,also very community/environment conscious
Last Gen’s prime motive is #SalaryHike! But Millennials want – flexiwork, good mgmt, friendly workplace etc #InterweaveTC
#InterweaveTC A3 (Part 2) U need to follow their rules, if U stop net, will use ph. dont follow career path they will quit
#InterweaveTC Many sol/s in my book: soon to be release PLEASE ME, match the age to keep them engaged(drdeepakmalhotra.in)
I kind of like this part – higher education, interestingly this is a KNOWLEDGE SEEKING generation
freedom and appreciation. They feel more entitled to success and are not ashamed to admit it.
and they are equally keen to have spot feedback ! Getting to know whats not working now, than a year later
Q4 – The Indian millennials – different from the rest? In which ways?
#interweaveTC A4 – Indian Millennials are similar but with a difference of culture that comes with each society.
Q5 – Challenges in bridging the gap between millennials and other generations in the workforce?
organizations r making d shift on that , we need to ensure that there are generation bridges 4 communications
Agree. Each generation believes next will self destruct itself but they find own ways to survive & thrive!
