Freedom and creativity - this is what is expected from working young staff. And most businesses, this approach is possible, at least in the service sector.

If you build according to the communication Agile principlesYou get truly entrained employee that will grow with you. Here are five basic rules of business cooperation with millenialami and tsentenialami.

Rule number 1. Give them their territory

The young employee should have his own territory - its area of ​​responsibility, where he will be able to improve yourself, to invent, to introduce initiatives. There he is in charge, it is a platform for development.

Task manager - to designate the area to determine the scope and some necessary things. The rest - it employee.

Rule number 2. Use flexible task lists

The young generation is very smart and does not like conflicts. Faced with stupidity in the workplace, young employees are dismissed immediately. They can not give meaningless and silly tasks. You can not be asked to recalculate rice or use two cash registers, when you need one.

Every employee must-do list for the week that he was planning when he was to perform a particular task. Let he appends to his new case and cancel the task of the head when they may already be outdated.

Rule number 3. Observe the balance between trust and control

Clever educated youth directly involved in the work - puts the soul of the project.

So the first thing to do - it regularly praise. The second important point - you can not constantly ask: "Well, you've done ..."

During the day, changing tasks: what was planned in the morning, may be irrelevant in the evening.

Let the employee is engaged in that important at this point in time, and he makes the decisions.

The manager can refine and once a day to ask questions on current affairs. It is to clarify and ask, and do not present: "Why is not done until now?! I instructed the day before yesterday! "

And then a miracle happens. When people do set themselves challenges and are responsible for the result, they do not steal. They are not interested.

Rule number 4. Forget about penalties

Penalties for corporate misconduct is as archaic as the whipping of slaves. Is much more effective when the income of employees tied to the objective KPI - revenue or reviews.

If a millenial or tsentenial bad copes with its tasks, it usually is not associated with an unwillingness to work or harmfulness. Affected by the following factors.

• Emotional burnout. Involved employees like to work seven days a week, but at least one day a week, a person must be disconnected from the work.
• External factors: a quarrel with a partner, drug or alcohol dependence.
• Depression. It happens, but fortunately, the young people who are affected by this disease, seek help from a psychiatrist and begin treatment.

If you notice something wrong with an employee, do not cut straight from the shoulder. Sometimes the picture of the world in the human mind from reality, and he needed time to reconcile the expectations.

Rule number 5. Add bonuses

Before you hire an employee, you have to seriously consider that the company can give him.

Work just for the money a young intelligent man bored. But practice foreign languages, The development of management skills, ability to create their own mini-projects - that's interesting.

We need to constantly invent something to work was not boring, and like a hobby.

Many employers do not recruit young people because of the lack of experience and existing stereotypes.

My advice - take a look at the younger generation. They are intelligent and energetic people. We just need to build the right communications, and then your business will be filled with positive energy, which is very much appreciated by customers.
