• Resumen

  • The article presents the author's perspective that Generation (Gen) Y, meaning the generation of people born in the 1980s and 1990s, is a challenge and an opportunity in the workplace. He says Gen Y is skilled in collecting information, making sense of it, and responding in real time which can trump experience. He also says Gen Y is not satisfied with the status quo and can be positive change agents if they are motivated enough to make a difference. The author then focuses on management's role in building organizational commitment in Gen Y employees by appealing to their sense of connectedness with the world and by placing trust in them to do the right thing. He also notes HCL Technologies firm's Power of One program that lets employees participate in social cause activities.
