The Millennial generation has to work in tandem with the generations Xers and the baby boomer generation, also with a diverse working environment that the present organizations have worldwide, the tolerant side of all working generations are to test. The new generation needs to be introduced to accept mentoring and information exchange with the generation Xers and baby boomers. Corporate career coaching and mentoring process can be beneficial in the short and long run in retaining the multi-faceted talent of the Millennials.
This generation could be also termed as the “impatient generation”; they want and demand instant success, a higher pay scale a better lifestyle and all this by not necessarily having the patience to wait years as they move on the corporate ladder.
The values and ethics are different than the previous generation. A careful analysis of their values which is often neglected in the job search maze forms an essential part of the coach / coachee relationship. This new generation needs direction and support to help them find the right direction in the maze of choices that the present technological and non-tech field offers. The coach is the person who assists in the decision-making process and often a teenager will listen more to his/her friends or a coach than their parents.
