Auckland, New Zealand 21 July 2010 — Researchers and bloggers are constantly discussing Gen Y’s fundamental difference in work-attitude compared with the Baby Boomers and Gen X. But we rarely hear how that very attitude could be the antidote to ineffective performance reviews.
In the latest installment in its highly popular color paper series, Sonar6 looks at ways organizations can harness the interests and demands of Gen Y employees to improve performance management for everyone.
The ‘Never Should Have Added My Boss on Facebook’ color paper presents Gen Y’s four key lessons for improving performance management processes:
1. Encourage collaboration, sharing goals and transparency
2. Allow employees to question the status quo
3. Deliver frequent feedback
4. Recognize achievements
The ‘Never Should Have Added My Boss on Facebook’ color paper is available online or for download at http://www.sonar6.com/colorpapers/added-my-boss-on-facebook
