Employing youths presents employers with some challenges, especially in today\u2019s modern world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The truth is that\u00a0<\/span>each generation looks back on its youth with rose-coloured glasses. How quickly we forget! The reality for most businesses is that it is the young workers that communicate best with clients. For many employers<\/span>\u00a0they are the<\/span>\u00a0face of the company.\u00a0 To remain competitive and maximise profits, employers<\/span>\u00a0must invest in the skills that youths bring with them to the workplace.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span>he youths of today<\/span>\u2019s generation,<\/span>\u00a0many of whom were born after 1990, have lived their lives in a world of technology, information and communication. However, I believe that insufficient attention is being given to instilling a sense of personal responsibility in youths and to teaching them basic work ethic at school and in the home. I dare say that some youths have never heard of the importance of being on time, respecting their superiors and communicating clearly or to value their commitment to their work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So\u00a0<\/span>how can<\/span>\u00a0a young worker<\/span>\u00a0be motivated<\/span>?<\/span>\u00a0I think that we should\u00a0<\/span>compliment<\/span>\u00a0youths on a job well done. Today\u2019s youths can be very loyal if they are taken seriously and treated with respect. One should also celebrate their successes, not only at work but also in their private lives.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We all know that youths<\/span>\u00a0come with an independent attitude.\u00a0 We should work with them to\u00a0<\/span>establish their aims and help them get results. Also<\/span>, youths need to know why they are being tasked with a piece of work. We cannot assume that they know<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0we need to confirm what they know about the work they have been asked to do and explain the aim behind each job.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Above all one should\u00a0<\/span>try to get on well\u00a0<\/span>with young workers.<\/span>\u00a0The way a manager conducts themselves at work has a great impact on the performance of worker. Therefore, one needs to ensure that the one taps the maximum potential of young workers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Young workers can be inspired, motivated and productive. Today\u2019s youths are more informed and adapt more easily. We should not judge them through the\u00a0<\/span>lens of the time of our youth.\u00a0<\/span>We need to look at them through their eyes. Employers have nothing to lose and much to gain\u00a0<\/span>from<\/span>\u00a0employing young workers and making a positive impact on their lives.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
