20. The GENERATIONS

21. Traditionalists • Loyal • Lived through two world wars and the Great Depression • Happy to have a job • Team players, greater good • Believe in institutions, very patriotic • Chain of command

22. Baby Boomers • Optimism: they can make the world a better place • Question and protest the status quo • Largest generation = intense competition • Work-a-holics • Focus on who they are = “Me Generation”

23. Generation X • Very independent • Non-traditional families, dual-career, single parent, high divorce rates, latch-key kids • Don’t trust institutions • Self-starters, prefer to work alone • First to benefit from computers • Smallest generation = competition for them

24. Millennials • Protected • Studied, marketed to • Great with technology • Personal safety is important • Appreciate diversity • Participate in major family decisions, include their parents in their lives

25. The Echo Boom/Millennials… • The Millennials are almost as large as the baby boom-some say larger - depending on how you measure them (approx. 81M). • The Millennials are the children born between 1982 and 2002 (peaked in 1990), a cohort called by various names: Echo Boom Generation Y Millennials Net Generation

26. Millennials • This generation is civic-minded, much like the previous GI Generation. • They are collectively optimistic, long-term planners, high achievers with lower rates of violent crime, teen pregnancy, smoking and alcohol use than ever before.

27. The Millennial Childhood • The most monumental financial boom in history. • Steady income growth through the 1990’s. • Saw their parents lose all their stocks and mutual funds (college funds) during the early 2000’s.

28. Safety Issues The Safest Generation • This generation was buckled up in car seats, wore bike helmets, elbow and knee pads when skating, and were the inspiration for “Baby on Board” signs. The Well-Being of U.S. Teens • Mortality Rate for US teens aged 15–19 declined from 1960 to 1997. -Teens are having fewer accidents than Boomers

29. Helicopter Parents • Helicopter Parent (n)A parent who hovers over his or her children. • Or Snowplow parent: Parents who clear the way for their children • ……these (echo) boomers are confident, achievement-oriented and used to hovering "helicopter" parents keeping tabs on their every move. (Anthony DeBarros, "New baby boom swamps colleges," USA Today, January 2, 2003)

30. Technology • This generation has been plugged in since they were babies. • They grew up with educational software and computer games. • They think technology should be free. • They want and expect services 24/7. • They do not live in an 8–5 world. • They function in an international world.

31. The “Information Age” Mindset • Students have never known life without the computer. It is an assumed part of life. • The Internet is a source of research, interactivity, and socializing (they prefer it over TV). • Doing is more important than knowing. • The infrastructure of many many businesses may not meet the expectations of these young adults raised on the Internet and interactive games.

32. Cell Phone Technology • They all have cell phones and expect to be in contact 24/7. • Not a phone – a lifestyle management tool • Staying “connected” is essential. • Communication is a safety issue for parents. • Communication has become casual for students (IM, email and cell phones).

33. True Multi-taskers • Millennials have lived programmed lives and are already quite capable of learning several jobs simultaneously and performing them admirably. • Millennials will change careers many times. • Retooling and recycling their skills and talents will become common. • To retain them, smart employers will encourage Millennials to try out different careers within the same company.

34. What Millennials Want • Ability to work whenever and wherever they want. • Variation on the job • Continual feedback from supervisors • Opportunities to learn, retool and reinvent themselves • Challenge, new problems to solve • To be in charge of their lives and future Marston, Cam, Motivating the “What’s In It for Me” Workforce: Managing Across the Generational Divide and Increasing Profits, 2007

35. Social Media • Facebook • Twitter • Texting • Google it! • Youtube • Never ending conversations
