Of late, the mindset of Gen Y has changed towards the working culture leading to mass lay off of young employees which has become the root cause of concern at top level in every organization.

 There is a dissonance of agreement between top and mid level of employees and this can be attributed to plethora of opportunities available in the market.

Experts reckon it’s a mindset which is prevailing at the entry level among youngsters and should be addressed keeping in mind their approach towards work.  Task is not something that is always related to money and accolades which everyone aspires for but its lot to do with learning, responsibility and experience one imbibe with time. It is the process that needs to be instilled in today’s generation and make them understand about its significance which will guide them in their future course of action. If one look at the successful and eminent personalities, all have started with scratch and went on to become public figure in their respected field. Be it a desk job, cold calling or giving presentation to masses or any fiddling little work carry significant importance.

 Everyone has its own school of thought with respect to roles and responsibility and this is something that needs to be addressed as well as highlighted especially during induction programme. Youngsters are more career-driven rather than doing conventional 9 to 6 jobs which is entrenched in most of the private sectors.
