Problem lies between the Higher Qalification & Practical Experience

idea posted by PS Dhingra CEO & Vigilance & Transformation Management Consultant, Dhingra Group of Management & Educational Consultants

In fact the generation problem is indicated by the higher (theoretical) qualification of the new generation and the practical experience of the old generation.

Problem between new generation and old generation always persists. It is not only with the new genration workforce within any organization, the generation problem lies also within the atmosphere of any family.

I also agree with this. In the organisation the new generations are more open to new ideas and experimentation than any other previous generation. They are more apt at using technology than the previous generations. the previous generations are basically on the higher post and they have more practical knowledge.These employees believe in the values of "organization" and "obedience" when it comes to their work. so they sometimes against of the new generations ideas and they resist to change. so i think it is not the failure of recruitment process.

Dear Nitin,

It is not the case that the employers don't face any problem with new generation employees. In fact problems do persist sometimes with new generation employees, as they usually try to experiment their newly learnt theoretical formulas treating the processes of old generations as crude methods, while the old generations/ employers by virtue of their practical experience would alrady have abandoned some processes, which are of lesser utility or no utiltiy for the organization in particular.

Add your argument:

Not all employers face this problem, It is just Recruitment Failure

idea posted by Resmi Maxim GENERAL MANAGER - OPERATIONS, SI PROPERTY (KERALA) PVT.LTD.,
Organizations that follow efficient work force management practices are unlikely to face any problems with ANY generation. It is a matter of Training, Mentoring, and Induction after proper adaptation. It fundamentally depends upon the effectiveness and appropriateness of the tests and reviews involved the recruitment and performance review process. All are not expected to have the same aptitude and attitude. Each profile requires different set of attributes.

Yes.  An intelligent staff management should not allow such problems to crop up. New boys certainly  need guidance.

I know all attitude

idea posted by Jyoti Kapoor HR Manager, Cybage Software

This is a commonn problem that employers come face to face with their newly recruited employees. Mostly if the candidate is from a comparatively well educated background then this problem arises.

To start with, it is the wrong assessmnt / evaluation at the entry point . Later, lack of learning  attitude on the the part of the recruitee.

The employers don't face any problem i think they know how to deal with the new generation workforce because they are doing this from the old time. Also A Business firm do work only for revenue. So they are focused.

Unpreparedness for the job accepted

idea posted by Prof Y V Subrahmanyam Director, Holy Jesus Mary PG College of CS
None of the teaching institutes prepare people for the likely jobs they are going to handle. There is hype, high expectation of role, and then their comparison with some of their colleagues from premier institutes. In addition one , two child syndrome at homes pamper them and even a small command from next higher up looks angry....LAzy attitude at leraning...not able to take stress...are LIKELY pointers

New joinees(freshers) need to be grounded

idea posted by Amit N Bhagwat Recruitment Manager

Hi All,

I have said this time & again when it comes to issues related to employees be it ego clashes, office romance, hiring process etc etc HR/dept heads/PMs( in case of IT industry) guys play a big role here new joinee are always excited about the new job, their knowledge what their college has taught them & want to try it now since they feel this is right place to do it & of course they are right however they should not dis-courage from trying anything new as far as they take permission of the concerned person also they need to be kept grounded, they need to made relaxed.

Problems being faced with new joinee need to address with lot of love, patience also & not with bossy tag.

If employers face problems with experienced joiner then I blindly blame HR, they should dis-courage job hoppers any candidate of any level should have spent minimum 5yrs with his current company.

Boasting experience

idea posted by Priyanka Agarwal Cerificate student, Indian Institute Of Management (IIM), Indore
I feel that major problem is that others boast too much about their experience and are not able to accept a younger employee at a higher post.
