NEWYEAR, REFRESHED VISION: RESOLUTIONS FOR HBCC IN 2017 A N I N T E R V I E W W I T H G E N E R A L M A N A G E R J A C Q U E L I N E W E L C H

Baby boomers are currently the largest generation of active workers . Research has shown that boomers identify their strengths as organizational memory , optimism , and their willingness to work long hours . This generation grew up in organizations with large corporate hierarchies , rather than flat management structures and teamwork - based job roles . This author recently completed an important study and he offers valuable advice that managers can use to make millennials feel wanted and respected . “ The millennials ,” a wistful F . Scott Fitzgerald might have written today , “ are different than you and me .” Managers accustomed to using certain practices to engage boomers are going to have to change their ways – and practices – if they hope to engage and retain the newest heavily scrutinized employee cohort , the wonderful millennials .

Millennials are creating a change in how work gets done , as they work more in teams and use more technology . Their social mindset , however , is also a significant factor . As Leigh Buchanon writes in Meet the Millennials , “ One of the characteristics of millennials , besides the fact that they are masters of digital communication , is that they are primed to do well by doing good . Almost 70 percent say that giving back and being civically engaged are their highest priorities .” Coupled with the socially minded millennial comes their desire to be creative . Millennials have grown up in a time where information has become available instantly . Through a Google or Wikipedia search , answers to even quite complicated questions can be found . As such , millennials have developed into a group that wants to work on new and tough problems , and ones that require creative solutions . In a 2009 article by Tamara Erickson , a millennial who had been struggling in her role , admitted to peers that ,

The term " basic " has gotten a bad rap .

Just search its hashtag on any social media platform and you ' ll be berated with images of Starbucks cups , pumpkin spiced everything and catty references to ex - girlfriends . The basic bitch has been criticized for her supposedly one - note fashion sense , her inexcusable mainstream style ( see : fleece pullover and black leggings ). Basic doesn ' t have to equal bland , however . It can represent an elegant simplicity and chic less - is - more mentality . And turns out , that ' s what is hot in fashion right now . Some would say the basic bitch is back , or that she never left at all . Just look at some of history ' s best dressed women , Yet they didn ' t exactly reinvent style . They mastered staples .

"Basic isn't always bad..."
