On-the-Job Woes
One of my favourite PodCasts is Business Week – Cover Stories. Editor John Byrne interviews the author of that week’s cover story. On 14 August 2008 the cover story was to do with research Business Week had completed on the most common workplace problems. I particularily liked this one because ‘generational differences’ came up as one of the biggest and most interesting issues.
TomorrowToday in South Africa and the United Kingdom has been researching and working with companies around generational challenges for over 6 years now. We’ve gained a large amount of insight and experience with some very big, medium and small companies, around the world, as they find solutions to the different world views and value systems that each generation brings to the workplace.
Today I enjoyed listening to yet another perspective. I identified with much of what was discussed (although I wished they’d said more). I continue to hold the view that many companies still fail to recognise that generational theory is at the heart of many of their people challenges (talent included). Of course it’s not the only one, but gaining a full understanding of this theory, holds the key to some effective solutions.
