Low tolerance for repetitive work
While older generations may have been satisfied with standing in the same factory spot their entire lives performing a single task repeatedly, younger generations cannot sustain such routines. In general, they have a lower tolerance for monotonous, repetitive and dull work. Therefore it is important to offer variation, opportunities to work on new and engaging projects, or options for growth and education.
Desire for recognition of good performance
Contrary to certain stereotypes, young workers are often hardworking and willing to immerse themselves in their assignments. However, in return, they expect adequate reward and recognition. If you want to retain promising young talent, remember to acknowledge their efforts and provide regular feedback on the projects they are involved in.
Aversion to conflict
Arguments, disputes and conflicts at the workplace are situations that younger workers tend to avoid. They dislike confrontation, especially if it is unnecessary, delays their work or disrupts the positive team atmosphere. Ensure that frequent or avoidable conflicts do not arise within your team, and that the workplace remains psychologically safe and productive.
