We live in a time where the new “Online“ environment is hacking traditional human interactions and business algorithms. The generation of “Likes” thrives on Social Media. Everything important is to be said and shared in 140 character or less, and then they move on.

Facebook consist of majority of Generation Z users who click “like” several times a day.

The Generation Z is estimated to spend an average of about 20 to 30 percent of their lifetime on Social media. They are relentlessly in pursuit of attention, validation, empowerment and engagement.

What does this mean for workplace interaction?

In a survey commissioned by the Tripartite Alliance for Fair Employment Practices (TAFEP) , Gen X and Gen Y make up for 60 percent of the workforce. This means that 40 % of the workforce is over 45 years of age. As this will be the first time that Leaders and HR Managers are seeing 4 generations working in the same office, they face accelerated rates of complexity in managing this new multigenerational diversity. Each Generation comes with different set of values and their thinking affects their behaviors and the way they interact with other generations.

The following are the distinguishing characteristics of the Generation Y and Linksters who will eventually become the next generation of leaders :-

• Grew up with technology • See promotions and climbing the corporate ladder as a way to demonstrate their worth • Not happy with long working hours and are motivated by benefits that give them flexible schedules. • Their Boomer parents told them that they are the best and they believe it • They need to be constantly validated and recognized • They Call attention to themselves by suggesting bold ideas and challenging status quo.

Bridging Generations in the Workplace: Fostering Communication, Trust, and Growth

Business leaders are optimistic of the this most educated cohort of generation but are concerned that there is a lack of focus and discipline at workplace due to their digital addiction.

To communicate effectively with this next generation entering the workforce, we must acknowledge that they are relatively young in the workplace. There is a need for mentoring and coaching.

The Key to successful communication today is Influence not Authority. Constructive “Feedback” has becomes a powerful tools for employee motivation and engagement.

Leaders can adapt to giving feedback framed on Next Generation Employees

Attitude: E.g. You show strong commitment to your work…
Skills Growth: E.g. You are showing signs of development…
Knowledge: E.g. You are showing greater understanding of how this innovative method works …

The Key Strategies is to guide the hyper connected digital natives towards self-reflection, including targets, goals and direct them into routine they can master.

It is thus the responsibility of each generation to understand the benefits of the other generation and find common grounds for a Successful Synergy.

Younger employees can learn from the experiences of their seniors and experienced managers can integrate fresh new ideas and perspectives for an effective and collaborative work environment.

It all begins with Trust Respect and Empathy. The Successful organization of the future will be the one were all its employees are agile, capable and willing to implement strategic change regardless of their generational factors.
