Wednesday, 2 April 2014, we had attended a workshop with title "Executive Time Management Workshop", which organized by a group of students who come from Department of Communication, from 12pm-2pm, at Auditorium KPD.E This workshop is a grand plan launched by the White Rabbit team to encourage better time management among students and lecturers.
First of all, as Mr. Rajen mentioned, the four types of generations are Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y and Generation Z.
Baby Boomers
Baby Boomers are those born in
the years after World War II (aged roughly 47-65). They are now close to
retirement age and who have experienced the post-war era of the Great
Depression and prosperity raised. As a group, they are the richest, more active
and physically fit generation of that time, and also one of the first to grow
up really expect the world to improve with time. Their work is much focused and
very competitive. Their generation's sheer size means that temporary workers
have always been a lot of competition, and competitive spirit through almost
everything about them. It proved that they need to focus on the time to complete
the work. Therefore, we also can say that Baby Boomers are emphasized at time
management.
Generation X
Generation X born roughly between
the early 1960s to the early 1980s. Gen X are usually labeled as
"slacker" generation, who uncommitted and unfocused. They are the
first generation has experienced a massive divorce, and may have to change jobs
several times. While their parents grew up in the era of the civil rights
movement, Gen X is considered more likely to want to keep their heads down,
rather than changing the world. Unlike previous generations, members of
Generation X work to live rather than live to work. They appreciate fun in the
workplace and advocacy of an effort to work. And also, Generation X managers
often humorous and games into work activities.
Generation Y
Generation Y, also known as Millennials, those born
between 1981 and 1994. Common put-downs include lazy, debt-ridden and
programmed for instant gratification. They are portrayed as demanding and
unrealistic in their career aspirations. Generation
Y is much less likely to respond to the traditional command-and-control type of
management still popular in much of today's workforce. Unlike boomers
who tend to put a high priority on career, today's youngest workers are more
interested in making their jobs accommodate their family and personal lives.
They want jobs with flexibility, telecommuting options and the ability to go
part time or leave the workforce temporarily when children are in the picture.
Generation Z
Those born 1995-2009,
they are the first generation never to have experienced the pre-internet world. This is the first generation to be born with complete
technology. They were born with PCs, mobile phones, gaming devices, MP3 players
and the internet. They don’t know how the life without technology. For
them , social media platforms are a way to communicate with the outside world.
They are not bothered about privacy and are willing to share intimate details
about themselves with complete strangers.
