Abstract

The newest and youngest members of workforces all over the world are making their presence known by forcing organisations to re-think their work practices and adapt their working environment to suit this generation of new employees and managers. Generation Y is invading the workplace, arriving like energetic guests at a quiet country house party, shocking the houseguests who are already there. They are bringing oversized luggage in the form of multiple digital technologies, social networks, a tech-savvy culture, new ways of approaching work, and new managerial styles. Who is this generation of ‘invaders’ and ‘transformers’? How will they — or won't they — modify the workplace? What are their expectations from their employer and work environment?The Oxygenz study, a research project led by Johnson Controls Global WorkPlace Innovation, gathered information from more than 5,000 Generation Y students and young employees to identify how important the workplace is in attracting, recruiting and retaining the next generation of workers.
