Gen Y in the Workforce

While the times and the company’s employees are changing, it is important that not only

the younger employees need to be understood, but also the more senior employees need help

understanding and embracing the change. It is important to consider how the company will

embrace, manage, promote, and retain, these new, highly technical workers because Millennials

are not going away, they will only grow in the work force. Effective communication can give the

workplace a friendly atmosphere where employees are comfortable and can focus on doing what

they do best.

In this case, Sarah must trust Josh. He can make him responsible for more and more

tasks. This will give her free up time and reduce stress for often overworking. She can take the

advantage of having Josh on her team being he is tech savvy unlike her.

However, rather than meeting the CEO directly Josh could have explained his plan to

Sarah with facts and figures; he could have dug more information regarding his idea to support

his idea. This would have led to a peaceful workforce. On the other hand, Sarah could have given

a thought about Josh’s idea more before disregarding it completely with a counter argument.
