Be patient when Gen-Y employees are late for work? Regardless of their youth, growing up with instant technological responses and information at their fingertips. How about teaching them to buy a watch, or read the time on their handheld and the importance of getting to business related, and for that matter social events as well "on-time" No employer should be recommended to "be patient" with this type of behavior. Furthermore, why dont we just change our all our business practices to mold Gen-Y's expectations. As an employer, business owner, corporation it is the employer who retains the rights to dictate employee policy and enforce it. Additionally, should employers make "exceptions" to the Gen-Y because they grew up without understanding certain behaviors and consequences? Making a recommendation of "be patient" with them is like saying let's expect all the employees get to work on time, except if you are Gen-Y age group. That is a great area for lawsuits for the older generation based on "unfair" descriminatory, inconsistent labor practices..Correct work behaviors that do not comply with policy with appropriate HR policy & practice, correct undesirable behavior or terminate those who do not within the first 90 days.
