Austin, TX – September 6, 2007 – BSG Alliance’s Concours Institute today announced the results of a comprehensive study of “Generation Y” – adults born between 1980 and 2000 and numbering some 70 million strong in the United States – and announced the launch of a significant follow-on research project: Solving the Workforce Crisis – Innovative Strategies for Recruiting and Retaining Talented Women. Both studies are part of the Concours Institute’s on-going research into developing future best practices for leading global employers, on the heels of its Harvard Business Press book, Workforce Crisis, published last year.

In its new research report, Engaging Today’s Young Employees, the Concours Institute found that Generation Ys – also known as the Millennials or Gen Ys – are not slipping into the workplace quietly, but challenging companies’ traditional approaches to recruitment and hiring, training and development, engagement, and retention. 

“Our study found that Gen Y employees are going to be a tough sell for many companies,” said Tammy Erickson, president of BSG Alliance’s Concours Institute.  “Gen Ys come to the workplace with high expectations for learning, rapid advancement, a balance between work and their active personal lives, good pay, and lots of attention and responsibility. To capitalize on this rich pool of workers, it’s imperative that HR leaders begin evolving a talent-force strategy for their Next Generation Enterprises.” 

Gen Y Challenges and Opportunities 

As Baby Boomers and older employees move inevitably toward retirement or reduced work responsibilities, Gen Ys are going to be their replacements. Companies, however, are not entirely prepared for what this new generation expects from work and expects to give to their employers.
