Course Description

Managing young workers is crucial for any organization looking to succeed in today’s fast-paced and competitive business environment. Young workers, typically defined as those aged 18 to 35, bring a unique set of skills, ideas, and perspectives to the workplace that can help drive innovation, creativity, and productivity. However, managing these workers requires a different approach than managing older generations.

One of the most significant challenges in managing young workers is understanding their unique needs, values, and preferences. Young workers tend to prioritize a good work-life balance, meaningful work, and opportunities for growth and development. They also prefer flexible work arrangements, including remote work options and non-traditional work hours. Leaders who understand these preferences can create a workplace that attracts and retains top young talent.

Effective management of young workers also requires strong communication skills. Young workers tend to prefer frequent feedback, regular communication, and open dialogue with their managers. They value transparency, honesty, and authenticity in their relationships with leaders. Leaders who can provide clear expectations, regular feedback, and open communication can build trust and develop strong relationships with young workers.

This program helps you to understand the characteristics of young workers to come up with a strategy in managing them.
