When the Millennial generation began entering the workplace a decade ago they were the most technologically savvy and best-educated generation in history. Also know as "Generation Y," they were supremely self-confident and had high expectations for themselves. They were going to shake up the work place. And shake it up they did!
But Millennial employees proved to very different from their Baby Boomer and Gen X predecessors. The Millennials’ seemingly unrealistic expectations, poor work-ethic and impatience irritated older employees. In the meantime, the previous generation annoyed Millennials with their "Do it My Way" philosophy and tenuous grasp of technology. This intergenerational conflict threatens to create havoc in the workplace as the younger generation begins rising towards upper management positions over the next decade. But savvy managers are already taking concrete steps to integrate Millennials and Baby Boomers into high performing teams. Millennials 2.0, the follow-up to co-author Dr. Jan Ferri-Reed’s best selling book Keeping the Millennials, presents a fresh look at the challenges and opportunities of recruiting, managing and developing Millennial employees.
