By Sarah Newton OK, I can hold my containment no longer and I have to shout from the rooftops. I am so excited about the coalition agreement made in UK politics between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats, mostly because I am so excited to have Nick Clegg in a senior position. While I did [...]

By Sarah Newton* As I work with more and more companies, I am seeing something that is very striking; a lack of what I would call a Young Worker Friendly policy. I work a lot with the service, catering and leisure industry which, let’s face it, lives on young employees and yet, for some reason, [...]

By Sarah Newton* I spend a lot of time coaching Gen X on how to handle Gen Y. You see, even though the generations follow each other, they really are poles apart. For all the times that Gen Y were told they could succeed and do anything, Gen X were told not to show off, [...]

By Tatiana Penteado* “There’s no point in attempting to find new paths on old maps.” This sentence says all about managing people from a different generation than your own… I’m part of Generation X, and most of the workers I manage, are women from Gen Y. Imagine what an explosive combination. This generation gap translates [...]

By Silvana Avinami I’m over it. I can’t stand reading about one more Gen X manager who thinks that Gen Y is the worst generation of employees that has come along. And I cannot stand watching one more Baby Boomer manager roll their eyes as they complain that Gen Y is a group of spoiled, [...]
