Today’s Human Resources departments are being pushed in new directions, due to the continued jobless recovery, the expectations of the emerging Millennials in the workforce, as well as the introduction and refinement of new technologies. Companies are increasingly moving to online assessments, believing them to be less costly and time-consuming. In addition, corporate branding is becoming an integral part of the application experience. As a result, social media platforms are becoming an important tool to attract applicants.]]>http://www.marketintelligences.com/generation-y-and-talent-manage/rss-comments-entry-14712885.xmlUS Employers Note Generation Y Skill DeficitsEmployers and Gen YSkill Trackingemployers and generation ygen y careersgen y skill deficitsgeneration y is unclearinternational market research opinionsnecessary skills for success in their careersskills considered desirable by employersus gen y careersMarket IntelligencesSat, 01 Aug 2009 13:27:46 +0000http://www.marketintelligences.com/generation-y-and-talent-manage/2009/8/1/us-employers-note-generation-y-skill-deficits.html308735:4776549:4799698In a new survey by Experience, Generation Y is unclear about the necessary skills for success in their careers.  The survey explored the ideas of both employers and Generation Y.  Experience found that 54% of Gen Y respondents were unclear about exactly the skills considered desirable by employers.  But a large number of Gen Y respondents felt that they were not lacking necessary skills desired by employers.  This optimism contrasted with the reality of employers believing Generation Y was deficient in important skills.  Employers can take confidence in the study's findining that 97% of Gen Y respondents would take action to rectify their skill deficit.]]>http://www.marketintelligences.com/generation-y-and-talent-manage/rss-comments-entry-4799698.xmlDump Your Staff and Retain their KnowledgeTalent ManagementTechnology Insightsageing us economycultivate relationships with retiredemployees and alumni can interactfired stay in touchprivate intranetsproductive ex-employeesreconnect with rainmakersretain staff knowledge and expertiseMarket IntelligencesMon, 01 Jun 2009 02:17:27 +0000http://www.marketintelligences.com/generation-y-and-talent-manage/2009/5/31/dump-your-staff-and-retain-their-knowledge.html308735:4776549:4151331The title is only to be provocative.  Actually, a useful technology in HR has emerged alongside the challenges of an ageing US economy and massive layoffs.  That is the need to retain knowledge and expertise, essentially remaining in reach of productive ex-employees (without overhead).   Many large companies have created their own private company intranets whereby current employees and alumni can interact.  On these sites is information about the industry, consulting offers, networking, partnership possibilities and job prospects.  In return, these corporations seek to cultivate their relationships with retired or laid off workers.  Importantly it can also allow the company to reconnect with “rainmakers” who once owned or had access to clients and had expertise in a particular field.]]>http://www.marketintelligences.com/generation-y-and-talent-manage/rss-comments-entry-4151331.xmlGeneration Y surprisingly upbeat about the futureEmployers and Gen YGen Y OutlookUS generation yeducation market researchhardest hit generationsmassive layoffsnegative job outlooktop consulting firms hiring freezesus education researchwork longer hours and take onMarket IntelligencesSun, 29 Mar 2009 20:10:14 +0000http://www.marketintelligences.com/generation-y-and-talent-manage/2009/3/29/generation-y-surprisingly-upbeat-about-the-future.html308735:4776549:3505789Generation Y is one of the hardest hit generations in the recession.   Surprisingly, the generation is optimistic.  According to a recent survey by Experience, 50% of US Gen Y respondents believe that their job prospects are optimistic.  Experience's Survey also shows that 25% believe that the media are presenting an excessively negative job outlook. Only a third believe that their career development will suffer due to lack of opportunity. Surprisingly, only about 30% of Gen Y feels they should work longer hours and take on more projects for job security.

What industries are Gen Y young people interested in?

Having lived and worked throughout Asia over the past few years, I am continually reminded that the Generation Gap that I wrote about in China’s Generation Y applies to many Asian cultures---China and beyond.

In my book China’s Generation Y, I spent one chapter describing the significant generation gap between Gen Y’s parents, who grew up under the cultural revolution, and today’s youth who are in a peaceful consumerist country that has only seen growth. My research showed that young people would not speak to their parents about many things and would avoid talking about even their interests like computer games to avoid criticism from their protective parents.]]>http://www.marketintelligences.com/generation-y-and-talent-manage/rss-comments-entry-2971494.xml
