In connection with the youngest generation of employees, the so-called Generation Y or Millennials, employers often complain that these workers do have a quality education and technical skills but they lack the work ethic. If you feel it the same way, read the following strategic tips to enhance ethical behavior of the emerging generation of workers. The tips were published on hr.blr.com.
Review key values to require from all your employees
Compile a list with descriptions of no more than ten corporate values. Start with nonnegotiable values such as honesty, reliability, respect and professionalism.
Review the recruitment process in relation to corporate values
Watch your values in the work history of job applicants.
Review the process of training in relation to corporate values
It is not enough just to mention the values. Incorporate them into your training programs on a daily basis.
Actively integrate corporate values into corporate culture
For example, start meetings by giving participants some space to describe how they recently acted in accordance with corporate values in their daily work or when meeting with customers.
Celebrate work ethic
Talk about examples of ethical behavior, reward and publicly praise the specific cases.
