On October 13, I’m co-presenting at the annual Motivation Show in Chicago. Along with Scottrade, we will be discussing “Recognition for the Generations”. For the first time in our history four generations are present and working side-by-side in the workforce; Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y.
With the vast differences in these generations, many organizations are struggling with managing, engaging, and motivating them the “right way”. For example, did you know Generation X appreciates timely feedback and Generation Y would prefer it daily?
Here are some other interesting facts and statistics about each generation:
- Traditionalists are motivated by money and the corner office.
- Baby Boomers prefer formal and public recognition.
- Generation X desires flexible schedules.
- Generation Y wants daily praise and recognition.
For more information about “Recognition for the Generations” take a look at our fun YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueyVnx94LVY. Are you managing a generation and not quite sure you are motivating the right way? If so, I hope to see you in October!
