Executive Time Management Workshop

            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.
