Guessing is not a strategy: How to build decision velocity with AI and real-time data
June 10, 2026 | Live Webinar
We have two updates on Generation Y that will help manage this group in the workforce. Readers of this blog will recall that this generation has previously reported high demands of their workplace. They were expecting satisfying and challenging work, flexible hours and enjoyable co-workers.
Evidently the harsh reality has hit them. Perhaps they are starting to “get” Dilbert. In any case, a recent survey (same as last post) finds that Generation Y now has the lowest expectations of the four generations. A BlessingWhite survey reports that the Millennials are the least engaged in the workforce. That’s a big turnaround in a short time.
As a project manager, you have more of a reason to organize mixed-generation work teams as described in the previous post. But also monitor the results to ensure the Gen Y workers are committed to the project and putting in their best effort each day.
