This is closely followed by Generation Y (millennials) at 31% and Baby Boomers at 30%. This widespread disengagement poses a significant challenge for employers striving to maintain a motivated and productive workforce.
Another issue companies face is managing a multigenerational workforce, particularly differences in work styles, which 40% of respondents point out as a problem, along with technological adaptability (31%) and reconciliation gaps between personal and work life (20%), according to the report.
“A one-size-fits-all approach no longer works in today’s dynamic environment. Recognizing these nuances is key to creating a motivated and inclusive workforce,” said Aditya Narayan Mishra, Managing Director and CEO, CIEL HR Services. He added that the gap between employees’ aspirations and what workplaces offer is widening rapidly.
Another finding is that 9% of respondents believed that generational stereotypes were a major challenge to having a diverse workforce in a company. “Individuals born in the 70s and 80s are more tolerant in understanding the misalignment between the organization’s stated principles and actual actions. They are followers of hierarchy. However, the new generation, hyperconnected individuals and Avid technology consumers, they view the organization based on how it behaves socially and how quickly it responds to employees, which creates a huge gap in expectations,” Mishra explained.
“Companies that can leverage these differences will be able to bring out the best in their people, build a healthy talent pipeline, and ensure sustainable business growth,” the report says. As solutions become critical to addressing employee challenges, the report emphasized that a positive work culture is a primary motivator across all generations. The results were based on responses from 1,100 employees.
