Generation X, the latch key kids are used to working independently. They are 36 to 47 years old and were born between 1965 and 1981.
Many of their parents were divorced with 2 family incomes as both parents worked. These kids were used to coming home and doing their homework on their own and doing their chores without being told to do them.
Generation X wants a work life balance. This generation is willing to work hard and wants to work for a successful marriage that eluded their parents. These are independent folks with families they want to spend time with and they appreciate money as they are buying homes. They also want to have fun at their work place. They are good with computers, cell phones and technology.
Feedback and Rewards:
They want immediate direct feedback so if something is wrong they can fix it immediately. They are hard workers who do not need to be supervised.
Generation X wants to continue learning and growing so remember to send them to courses to help them work smarter and improve their knowledge.
Tune in next Thursday for the fourth part of this four part series on how each generation is motivated, rewarded, and connects in your business.
Write and share your experiences in the work place. What would you like to see happen at your company?
