How to Keep GenY Employees Onboard?
2. Opportunity to give their opinion: According to Anushree, big organizations face difficulty in order to keep the Gen Y employees onboard as they get quite aggravated with the hierarchy. They want to be directly in contact with the higher authority and move up in the positions rapidly. To keep the employees onboard, managers need to provide the employees with an opportunity to speak up their opinion. One can learn a lot from the Gen Y’ers as they are familiar with the technology that actually distinguishes them from the Gen X employees. Several companies are introducing mentorship programs to give younger staffs an opportunity to be heard and older staffs a chance to learn latest things. Therefore, managers should use the Gen Y employees as a resource.
3. Give them the chance for community service: Managers should keep in mind that the present generation is quite concerned about their communities. Therefore, they should be given an opportunity by the organization to take paid leave in order to indulge in community service or to get involved in corporate social task initiatives. The job seekers in the present generation prefer to work in companies that have great company culture apart from the position and the benefits. The present generation might not join a company if he or she does not like the organization’s image or community contribution.
