Depending on when you read this, the Coronavirus pandemic is either still raging, or – hopefully! – has finally been brought under control. Either way, a huge work culture shift is upon us, as remote working is prioritised, given the infection risks associated with being co-located in the same office. But, despite the conveniences, e.g. […]
Depending on when you are reading this, the outbreak of COVID-19, also known as the Coronavirus, may have already been brought under control. Or, it may still be on the rise, disrupting global supply chains, rocking economic sectors from health to hospitality and shutting schools, universities and places of leisure worldwide. And just like the […]
If you’re a 21st-century business, the buying preferences of Millennials (also known as Gen Y, born between 1981-1996, according to the Pew Research Center) are most likely known to you. Millennials, by this point, are well-known for preferring to invest in experiences over traditional purchases. They initiated the sharing economy, as a result of being […]
Digital natives, anxious, money-conscious. Private, diversity-oriented, crisis-aware. These are all words that could describe Generation Z, also known as Gen Z, iGen or Homelanders, born after 1997, according to the Pew Research Center. While much of this blog is dedicated to Generation Y, aka Millennials, (born between 1981-96), the conversation in work culture, Human Resources […]
In the past few blog posts, I’ve been exploring the topic of employee retention with regards recruits who are Millennials, also known as Gen Y, (born, give or take, between 1981-95).

Leading organisational consultant, speaker and author Simon Sinek has an excellent video about which professional traits are genuinely appreciated in the workplace, and which are actually valued in terms of rewards and promotion… What he discovered was a profound disconnect in how we evaluate those who ‘hit the numbers’ and those who are great people […]
In my previous post in the Millennial Code series, I discussed the first factor involved if companies want to retain their Millennial talent: giving them a clear picture of their career prospects with the organisation. In this post, I want to outline the next important element in engaging Gen Y and keeping them on payroll. And […]
When it comes to managing others, there are so many factors that can influence whether or not workplace teams fail or succeed. Each group has its own dynamic, its own character, its own preferences and strengths, dislikes and weaknesses. Change one person in the line-up, and you can dramatically amplify or diminish the self-belief or […]
Let me tell you about Millennial so-called ‘disloyalty’. You know what I’m talking about… the job-hopping tendencies of this generation, (also known as Gen Y, born roughly between 1981-95) whose CVs and resumes often read like fusion cuisine menus. What looks like a problem with retention is to misjudge or simply misunderstand this generation’s values. In […]
You know what you never see in a James Bond movie? Go ahead, suggest something. No, it’s not the beautiful ladies and glamorous hotels. And it’s not the futuristic cars and weapons. It’s not even the smartest, most cutting-edge gadgets and inventions that save the secret serviceman’s life, mission after mission. Give up? I’ll tell […]
