Abstract

Based on our analyses of who members of the digital Post-Millennial cohort might become, this chapter present factors that employers should consider once the Post-Millennials are on the job. We foresee several areas of potential cultural conflict particularly around: the structures used to control work; the preferred career employment model and organizational culture. Observations are provided on how the Post-Millennials are likely to view a range of employment practices including: technology and social media; teams and collaboration; responsible autonomy, control over information and challenges to authority; organizational loyalty and career advancement; and, supervision and mentoring. We conclude that their GenX and Millennial bosses and supervisors will have to oversee a significant shift in employment philosophy and workplace practices. The key conflicts are summarized in four statements we attribute to the future digital Post-Millennial employee: ‘It’s not that I disagree boss; I know you’re wrong’; ‘Actually, we’ve decided to do it this way’; ‘My moral compass is pointing in a different direction’; and ‘I’m not who you think I am’.
