Leaders need to 'gen up' so they don't let 'gen y' down

New free white paper and podcast on ‘HR in 2020 – A New Employment Landscape’

Thanks to entry-level positions and graduate schemes, businesses are welcoming a host of raw Generation Y talent into the workforce. Unfortunately, it is possible a ‘blind-leading-the-blind’ scenario could be developing when it comes to the integration of technology and diversification.

‘Gen Y’ workers undoubtedly have a proactive relationship with technology. They are not just familiar with it, but expect to see it integrated into their own working environment. However, a decision about how to create this kind of culture and structure can only be made at the very top of the chain and there is serious concern this may not be happening quickly enough. So is this being compounded by reluctance? Are most businesses unprepared for diversification?

A brand new white paper from Resource Management looks into why these issues are happening and what can be done about it. They spoke with some of the UK’s leading HRDs to understand better what could be done to enable positive change – both for business and employee.
