Gen Y
Continued From Page 21
they saw members of their own
parents’ generation downsized.
In contrast, Generation Y is
optimistic about the future and
looking for careers and workplaces
that reflect their own style and
aspirations. Offering a workplace
that’s friendly to their generation
and its way of working is the best
way to attract and keep them.
Generation Y was raised in an
era that stressed teamwork and
co-operation. That said, they’re
not just followers; they readily
voice their opinions, expecting
to be heard and to have their
input appreciated. This can be
off-putting to older co-workers,
who may think the younger colleagues haven’t earned their
place at the table yet, but it can
also yield valuable insights for
those organizations willing to
embrace the ideas of an enthusiastic younger generation.
Most importantly, this is also a
generation that is willing to learn
and listen, as well as speak out.
Unlike some previous generations,
Generation Y typically respects
and likes its parents and others
who have gone before them. A key
attribute that can attract them is
offering mentors who can guide
them, because they see mentor-
ship as a valuable opportunity, not
a nuisance. They know they don’t
know it all and, if approached the
right way, are eager to learn.
More important
than just getting
their attention,
however, will be
the content of that
recruitment message.

Cindy Pinkus, lawyer
viding praise or criticism, it’s best to
open up a dialogue, not deliver it as
a monologue. Remember that this
may be the most confident genera-
tion ever: for the most part, their
parents and teachers have always
praised them; they played games
where everyone won; they took
courses where everyone passed.
Cindy Pinkus, LL.B. has carried
on her law practice for more
than 20 years. She has lectured
with the University of Toronto
and York University, as well as
provided extensive communication and negotiation training
across Canada.
