Every morning in Asia, a tiger wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest deer or it will starve to death.
Every morning in Asia, a deer wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest tiger or it will be killed.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a tiger or a deer: when the sun comes up, you’d better be running…..
Are You A Tiger Or Deer?

Multigenerational Work PerspectivesGeneration Years Born Work Perspectives
Traditionalists 1922 - 1945 “Company loyalty” - Believed they'd work for the samecompany their entire career.
Boomers 1946 - 1964 “Live to work” - Believe in putting in face time at theoffice. Women enter the workforce in large numbers.
Gen Xers 1965 - 1980 “Work to live” - Believe that work should not define theirlives. Dual-earner couples become the norm.
Gen Yers (Millennials) 1981 - 1994 “Work my way” - Devoted to their own careers, not totheir companies. Desire meaningful work.
Gen Zers (Linksters) 1995 to present “Living and Working their way” - Their struggles in thework environment are tied to their youth andinexperience. Desire for change, stimulation, learningand promotion that will conflict with traditionalorganisational hierarchies.

Changing Demographics Increasing numbers of Gen Y entering the workforce. Baby Boomers & Traditionalists are continuing to work for longer
tenures or are Re-engaged into the workforce. Alliance for Fair Employment Practices (TAFEP), 2010:
Gen X and Gen Y make up 60% of the Singapore workforce. Means that 40% of the Singapore workforce is over 45 years of
age. Multi-generational teams improve organizational
effectiveness and performance.Adapted from: TAFEP’s Report on ‘Harnessing the Potential of Singapore’s Multi-generational Workforce’, 2010http://www.fairemployment.sg/assets/files/Publications/Publication%20-%20Harnessing%20the%20Potential% 20of%20Singapore's%20Multi-Generational%20Workforce.pdf

What are some possible flexible work options that will simultaneously attract all generations while encouraging Traditionalists and Boomers to remain employed and play key roles in knowledge transfer, leadership development, and mentoring of younger workers?
How can Human Resources professionals coach managers to maximize the performance of each generation?
What specific tactics are HR professionals using to attract the ‘best and brightest’ of the Gen Y employees that might differ from strategies used for other generations?

The Linkster Generation (those born after 1995) is the onejust entering the workforce now. Like any other generation,it brings its own mindset into the workforce.
Linksters primarily work part-time while attending school. They are called Linksters because no other generation has
ever been so linked to each other and to the world throughtechnology. Their struggles in the work environment aretied to their youth and inexperience.
They are complete digital natives and cannot functionwithout communicating through social media.
Desire for change, stimulation, learning and promotion thatwill conflict with traditional organisational hierarchies.

Gen Z or The Linksters

Get them into a routine that they can master. Generation Z will be unlike Baby Boomers, who are often
loyal to a firm. They don’t expect jobs for life and will moveonto the next job, similar to Generation Y.
Managers of Generation Z employees will have to beprepared to give regular feedback that tells them they aremaking a difference to the organisation
Development and work/life balance are more important thanfinancial reward, with both Gen Y & Z being committed totheir own personal learning and development.
