Tomorrow the Human Capital Institute will be hosting a free webcast devoted to this topic, presented by Judy Sweeney, VP and Head of Research at Taleo. We talk extensively about the who’s and the what’s of the multi-generation workplace, but what are we doing in practicality to attract, inspire and retain these future leaders? Is your human capital initiative in line with the future leaders of your organization?
A study by the Chartered Management Institute uncovered the following:
“Careers literature on Generation Y suggests the growing development of microcareers, where tenure in any job is much shorter, and characterises young managers as highly impatient and far more willing to move jobs regularly. Although the findings demonstrate a trend towards shorter stays with any one organisation for a third of young managers, there is still a significant proportion of the sample who are staying on a longer term basis: 31 per cent had been in their current jobs for more than 6 years and 32 per cent had been there between 3 and 5 years.”
So– one of our funademental problems is retention, always. Yet this is not about workplace generalizations, it’s about workplace strategies that work for the long term. Join us at noon e.t. on 7/15 to share your best practices– and learn some new ones.
