Managing Gen-Y and Gen Z

What this infographic shows

The one most current and challenging HR and managers’ role is to address impending issues
resulting from managing different generations of the workforce in the organisations amidst an
ever progressive and dynamic world. For the first time in history, there are at least three (3)
generations in the workforce. These are the Baby Boomers (1946-1964). Generation X (1965-
1980) and Generation Y (1981-2001), Generation Z (2001 and above) . The diverse
perspectives, motivations, attitudes, and needs of these generations have changed the
dynamics of the organisation’s workforce. The shifting power of the workforce will
inevitably affect the performance of the organisation in a vibrant global economy. These
three generations explicitly show different sets of goals and expectations, work ethics, feeling
towards authority & organisation, values, and how they plan to satisfy these desires. Thus,
there is an increasing need for managers to be able to manage their employees, especially the
younger generation in the workplace successfully.
