Why Generation JAJAJA not necessarily locked in the office
Work And Study / / December 25, 2019
Today Layfhaker will once again talk about JAJAJA generation. They are slightly different, they are young and ambitious, and yet they do not need to bind to the office from 9 am to 6 pm. Why? Because they are so going to work, even in their spare time, on his own initiative.
Do not you understand what I mean? As an introduction to the topic, you can read our previous publications on problems of interaction with millenialamiAs well as the characteristics of their thinking, because of which these young people sometimes do not reach success in their careers.
According to a recent study by Randstad Human Resources and Consulting Agency, 52% of workers-millenialov feel the need to respond to emails after hours. Despite the ability to stay connected away from the office, 40% of them feel guilty, making full use of the allotted time for them to rest. For the older generation such feelings peculiar to only 18% of people.
Jim Link, Managing Director of the Randstad, explains this difference in perception of work that millenialy are in earlier stages of his career. They want to look responsible, responsive staff. They do not dare to go on vacation, because they are afraid to miss the opportunity for career growth.
Older employees, whose working experience above, feel more confident in the usual workplace, and this allows them to clearly separate work and leisure, staying focused on the first in the second.
When you are young, you are trying hard to show their importance to the company. Millenialam more peculiar torn between work and life. they also belong to the group of people most felt comfortable being constantly in touch.
Avoid "trap 500 emails"
42% of employees feel the need to maintain awareness in matters of working while on vacation.
What is interesting is that in this case the percentage does not change much from generation X to generation Y. Users are strongly satisfied with availability check work e-mail early in the morning, devoting the rest of the day family and friends.
These people prefer to check mail at 7 am, even in Disneyland than to return to work with 500 unread messages in the inbox.
Link himself says that experiencing anxiety, if not check work e-mail at least once a day. He often checks e-mail on weekends.
I found that I could relax better (hence, my family too), if from time to time to view your work e-mail. When I know that at work everything is calm, relaxed, and I spend my time much better.
It is for this reason that Link believes that the practice of not checking email after 6 pm and "E-mail Friday without" do not work.
Such people are very nervous, if you close them access to email after 6 pm, or report that their phone is going to die in the first minute after the start of the holiday. These guys are accustomed to technology permeated the world. They do not like, if you turn them off from him.
Switched off or disconnected
67% of employees have noticed the growth of its productivity after leaving off work holidays. However, whether you want to deliberately restrict access to employees to work during the holidays? Link hopes that the company will take steps to create policies that contribute to balance work and free activity, but at the same time allowing each employee to do the best for yourself choice.
Link finds the right approach in which managers are promoting policies to be working overtime, but only on a voluntary basis. This gives more freedom to subordinates. The person will check mail in the evening and on weekends, not in order to impress the boss, but only because of personal emotional needs.
