Generation Y - great summaries

Thanks to the change masterclass crew for recommending a trawl around the Deloittes website for some top notch information about Generation Y.

If you're not familiar with Generation Y, this is the youngest generation coming to a workplace near you now. Generation Y-ers have very definite communication preferences, not least because they've never experienced life without computers.

This is a very good, simple summary of the Generation Y characteristics and here is an explanation of what they look for in a job, the types of leaders they respect and a bit about their communication preferences. Interestingly their 'preferred method of communication with their employer' is 'a combination of email and personal interaction' (70%) whilst only 25% chose 'personal interaction' alone as their preferred method.

Very accessible, well-laid out summaries and they won't take you long to read. Well worth a look.
