Editor's Notes

  1. Also called Echo Boomers, Millenials
  2. Good Parent. Successful Marriage. Helping others in need
  3. There are three (suggested) core elements that drive the ambitions of Generation Y in the workplaceMaking a difference is a strong motivational force behind Gen Y's efforts. Though salary and benefits continue to dominate the no. 1 and 2 on the importance list, making an impact ranks no 3.The instant communication framework Gen Y developed through extensive computer usage has led to a need for more professional feedback than that of past generations. Communication platforms such as SMS, e-mail, video chat, and blogging have engendered a mindset that necessitates constant communication with others. That mindset has carried over into the workplace.The divide between work and life is continually growing narrower as more people shift from the bricks-and-mortar to a remote workplace. The rate of remote office workers has increased significantly in the past two years, according to WorldWideWeb.They’ve always felt sought after, needed, indispensable. They are arriving in the workplace with higherexpectations than any generation before them. They expect a workplace that is challenging, collaborative, creative, fun, and financially rewarding.
