How to manage Generation Y

1. Set Clear Expectations. Let them know the rules about dress code, work hours, and use of technology.
2. Offer Flexibility. If Generation Y's don't feel like they can balance their work and personal lives, they will leave quickly.
3. Leverage their Strengths. Generation Y's enter the workforce excited, passionate and with lots of great ideas. If you can find a way to utilize their skills and channel their energy, you will experience productive results.
4. Show them Respect. Resist the urge to brush them off because of their age and show them the respect everyone deserves.
5. Communicate. Be proactive and establish communication guidelines early in the relationship. This will help to avoid mis-communications down the road.
