When Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong reshuffled his cabinet earlier this year, I remember being struck by the headline in the Straits Times: A mix of experience and energy. More than anything, that encapsulates for me the challenge and the goal of multi-generational management --- To tap on the experience of traditionalists and baby boomers, while harnessing the can-do spirit of Gen X managers and the energy of Gen Y staff. And that's exactly what we at LifeWorkz endeavour to help our clients do --- to discover and implement Gen Y and Multi-Gen Strategies that make Business Sense!
Are you ready for 2012? In barely two year's time, in 2012, it will become mandatory for companies to offer to re-hire workers beyond 62. By then, the Government hopes to raise the employment rate for workers aged 55 to 64 in Singapore from the current 57 per cent to 65 per cent. In essence, that means many baby boomers will postpone their retirement, or enter into a 'working retirement', which throws all our neat HR definitions out of the window. At the same time, we have a totally new breed of Gen Ys entering the workplace at high speed, and climbing up to middle management in a few short years. Are you ready for the new reality? I don't mean in terms of policies and staff handbooks, although all that is important. Are your managers ready to manage such a multi-generational workforce?
You are only as strong as your weakest link The truth is, our organizations need the winning combination of experience and energy that the generations bring.
What your managers need Managers need to be equipped with an understanding what makes each generation tick --- to grasp the motivations of each generation, and use this understanding to optimize the contributions of the team. This entails:
A tall order? Yes, indeed. But here's the good news: You can do something about your learning curve and make it less steep.
Of course, you can choose to learn it 'the hard way'… Sure, you can let your managers learn by trial and error, with each error shedding tiny shreds of light on the art of managing a multi-generational team. Or, you can shave 10 years off their learning curve by letting them take advantage of the research, the case studies and the experience of other multi-generational managers!
Solve your management headaches even before they arise! With four generations co-existing in today's workplace, many conflicts will be generational in nature. There is a great need to upgrade all our managers to be in line with the reality of the new workforce. To be armed with Gen Y and Multi-Gen Strategies is to avert management headaches and arrest conflicts even before they arise! Now, how much is that worth? As any people manager knows – it's priceless!
Priceless solutions. Get it at the early bird rate – now!
