BANGALORE: Being in the 21st century has certainly put employers and organizations into challenges of dealing with employees. Moreover, it is a reality of a world that the gen-Y employees no longer ask what they can do for their employers, but rather ask what their employers can do for them, reports Rediff.

According to the study commissioned by Cisco, the employers these days are finding every possible way to make the gen-Y employees work due to the fact that they are smart but they seem to be too distracted. The over-all study on young employees was carried along in 18 countries, including India.

Additionally the study reported that 90 percent of Gen Y check their Smartphones for notifications often before they get out of bed and give it superior priority over their daily routine work such as brushing, taking a shower or getting dressed for work. It was also said that the Gen Y employees don’t have clear intensions between the workday and personal time as both unify and overlap throughout the day and night.

The survey also gave out some no-confidence points on Gen Y employees, stating that these young guns lack devotion and faithfulness that previous generations possessed and tend to quickly think of alternatives. It was also said that these employees don’t often stand by their own decisions and have wrong perceptions if they stay in an organization beyond two years.

Due to the above listed traits, it also lead to fear among senior managers that having spent time and money on developing the talent, individuals might just leave before they have fulfilled their potential objectives.

Having reported all the negatives, many of leading recruiters also said that there were also some positives to take among these traits and it’s quite a reality. With the high level of technology, knowledge, and younger people in the workforce are no longer interested in being present for office meetings or the morning phone calls, and feel these are essentially a waste of time, due to the fact that they are in the days of instant messaging.
