Today’s youth are a different lot in the workplace. They want to prove their worth in the workplace and go great lengths to do so. This is something that comes as a surprise to many Bosses and Employers who don’t know how to handle them. In this blog we have compiled a list of seven things that every Boss should know about the youth.

Here are seven things every boss should know about the youth:

Their job means everything to them

For youth their job is their life, their identity, it’s what they think about all the time. They want to succeed in their life and the way they see it, only if they are able to succeed at work, they can succeed in life.

They aren’t motivated as much by money

Many youth that live with their families don’t need too much of money to spend on things. That’s why, bigger paychecks isn’t a tool of motivation for them only an incentive for the work they do.

They aren’t shy

Today’s youth aren’t like the elders who would sit silent and watch. They want their opinion to be heard and they don’t shy away from voicing their opinions. This is in a way a good thing for the bosses, but some might see it as being disrespectful to them.

They aren’t keen on doing boring work  

 

Youngsters want to do work that’s engaging and also is interesting. They are put-off by work that seems boring or too tedious. It’s mostly because they want to be seen doing work that contributes to the company and helps in their growth.

They are risk takers

Today’s youth are big risk takers. Unlike the old generation which consist of people doing everything they can to avoid risk, they are up for any challenge that they might come across.

They don’t stay at one place forever

 

Youngsters love to explore, be it the world or the work. They aren’t as loyal as many older employees who prefer to stick to one place. It’s not because they are incompetent or disloyal, it’s just that they haven’t come to the decision of what they actually want to achieve in life.

They understand technology better

Having been born at a time when technology had become a part of our lives is what gives them an edge over other senior figures. Also with time, technology became less challenging and more user-friendly. Because of that, today’s youth can do better jobs and save time as well.
