SandraWe can combine this and the next slide as we discussed. We can even break it into multiple slides as I think it’s an important aspect. Maybe 1 stat slide on consumer expectation data and 1 stat slide on the generational aspects at play? Gen Y Otherwise known as millenials are taking over the workforce, according to a mercer study, by the year 2014, 47% of US workers will be under the age of 35. And these younger workers are just as smart and hard-working as we baby-boomers are.Millennials (74%) think new technology makes life easier. According to a Pew studyAnd they’re accustomed to using social media tools in their private lives, and expect to leverage them at work as well. Companies bring tools like this into the workforce will have a better chance of retaining the younger workforce.Millenials are a new breed, they are used to collaboration dislike hierarchy – they’re used to being able to find answers to their questions online – and quickly. Millenials are not all about money, they want to know that their ideas are being heard and they are making a difference. We can collaborate on this slide over the weekend and Monday but feel free to take a stab at them…I’ll signal links to additional good stats I find or have on hand.
