3 likes959 views
This document discusses how Generation Y employees and future workers will impact the workplace. It notes that Gen Y desires flexibility and mobile access to work, uses social media, and expects a collaborative culture with open communication. The workplace of the future will cater to these preferences through virtual and mobile connectivity, communities, and spaces that foster creativity and collaboration over rigid hours or face time in the office. An open culture where knowledge sharing is valued will be key to engaging Gen Y and beyond.
