So what will generation Y employees

want?

Pay staff enough and then pay is not the key motivator!

Greater flexibility with working hours – managers will need to

manage by outcomes, not by presenteeism

Employees want to choose where, when and how they want

to work

Great IT kit, or the facility to bring your own to work

To work for an organisation with social responsibility, sound

ethics and morals and a sense of purpose

Employees want to have autonomy at work – the power to

be self directed
