A lot has been written about the Millennial generation in the workforce. There are articles, webinars, training courses, debates about how to attract, retain and motivate this generation. I imagine most of the students in this class are Millennials; while others are returning to college later in life.

No matter what age, people in the workforce have differing opinions about this generation.

Some believe that this generation is unique in terms of work ethic, motivators, values, and much more.

Others argue that there is little real difference — that generations have much more in common than not.

What is your POV?

1) Express your informed opinion: is this generation truly unique in the workplace?

2) If yes — highlight 1-2 differences and suggest 1-2 actions employers should take to attract, motivate, retain Millennial talent.

OR

2) If no — site evidence from what you read and share your reasoning. Offer advice to employers accordingly.

Be clear, concise, direct. Be sure to support your opinion with what you have learned and, if applicable, any direct professional experience you can share.

The ideal posts are typically 2 paragraphs long, sometimes 3. If you are temped to write more, edit to streamline, simplify, sharpen your POV.

You must offer one post that meets the 2 basic criteria above and also comment on at least two other post with some thoughtful insight. While “liking” or offering quick praise for another post is encouraged, please spend time offering at least one comment on another’s post that goes deeper.

Ideally, you will become engaged in the conversation to respond to multiple posts by classmates. As others post, please read and comment. Comments can agree or disagree with the original post. Offer facts, rationale, and/or other sources of information to back your POV on comments.

Based on my personal experience and some of the articles that I have read in regards to Millennials, I believe that Millennials are very unique in the workplace. Millennials joining the workforce are employees born between 1980 and 2000. Unlike the Gen-Xers and the Baby Boomers, the Millennials have developed work characteristics and tendencies from doting parents, structured lives, and contact with diverse people. Before the year 1980, the white-collar workforce was predominantly occupied by males. Major organizations and companies during this time period were not diverse which caused the direction of ideas from the companies to be somewhat narrow minded. This generation of Millennials is used to diversity in the workforce because of how society has changed overtime. Unlike Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers, Millennials have dealt with more diversity in schools which as result has prepared them for diversity in the workforce. According to the article “11 Tips for Managing Millennials” by Susan Heathfield, Millennials are used to working in teams and want to make friends with the people at work. Millennial employees work well with diverse coworkers because they grew up in an environment in which diverse children were the norm.

Millennials seek leadership and even structure from their experienced coworkers and mangers but expect that you draw out and respect their ideas as well. One action employers can do to provide leadership is train management to coach and deliver positive feedback to their staff. Management should plan a lot of time teaching, coaching, and need to be aware of this commitment to Millennials when you hire them. Also, Millennials are always up for challenge and change. They don’t want to become complacent with doing the same job over and over. Employers should understand this and structure jobs around Millennials so that there is always room for growth and change. I personally feel that this is very important because based on my past experience of being a Millennial in the workforce, I found myself looking for other jobs that challenged me more once I had been with a company for more than two years. During that time, I felt that my potential was being restricted because the job did not present a challenge for me and there was no room for growth. Overall, this generation of Millennials is very unique and employers need to take action addressing the characteristics of Millennials so that they can stay competitive in the workforce.

I think all generations in the workforce are unique, especially the millennials. Like the generations that work before them, the millennials have much to prove, even more with some criticism their commitment to their job and their work ethic. An article in entrepreneur.com by Jason DeMers titled “7 Bad Workplace Habits Millennials Need to Stop Making.” Highlights many problems millennials face in today workforce. I’ve witness some millennials who could change their overall approach to how they perform their job. Many key points that were illustrated in the article I quickly identified with working with people younger than me.

One of the biggest issues is assuming a certain behavior or action is okay. Every job has downtime where things are slow or merely no customer or clients are around. This is the time to get caught up around the office, not checking the cell phone or getting lost in conversation with fellow employees. Other issues are some job environments are becoming too comfortable. One major issue I have with millennials is them arriving to work late and thinking it is acceptable, where it is not which goes to the next point. Although I was born in the late 80’s, I often notice a lack of work ethic and professionalism in many millennials performing their job duties. Since their still young they may not have major financial responsibilities. This could create a half focus/devoted mentality of the job. Some of them just do not take their jobs seriously which is the problem.

Millennials tend to make demands instead of requests. Expressing your opinion is always important at the job, many companies today offer the open-door policy. Millennials inexperience sometimes go to their head, thinking they have the right to demand certain things. Instead if requesting for certain things and respectfully ask for them, they portray their selves in a better light. Not all millennials are like this, but some should reorganize their overall work ethic to mold them to better workers. Employers should not be lenient of millennials who are not committed to their job.

In the “Foundations” course, the first course in this program, five early childhood professionals spoke to you about resources that enrich their professional lives. All mentioned that they use information provided by early childhood organizations to stay current in the field and connect with other professionals. As you know, all of the major professional early childhood organizations maintain websites. And many of them distribute free weekly or monthly e-newsletters which provide subscribers with the latest news, policy initiatives, and other field-specific information. At the beginning of this course you selected a specific early childhood related organization. You either subscribed to one of the e-newsletters or chose to learn more about specific initiatives or policies of that organization.

Think about these questions:

• If you have subscribed to a newsletter, what type of issues does the newsletter address? Is the focus on one specific issue or do you obtain information about a variety of issues?
• If you chose to study the policies or other specific resources of a site, what have you learned so far?
• If you chose an international website, is there a specific issue addressed on this site that stands out or catches your attention—perhaps an issue that is different from issues presented by U.S. organizations, or the same issue but from a different perspective?
• Considering the topic for this week, that is, changing demographics and diversity, do the newsletter and/or the website offer you additional information or food for thought?

By Day 6

• Provide the name and link for the organization you selected, and a brief description of the organization’s focus, OR
• Provide the name and link for the international website you selected, and a brief description of the organization’s focus
• Identify one current issue/trend from the newsletter and/or from the website that caught your attention
• Share if there was anything else you learned from studying these resources related to the topic of this week

In reference to some of the differences between qualitative and quantitative research reports, Sheperis, Young, and Daniels (2017) state, “Qualitative researchers are more interactive, subjective, and participatory than quantitative researchers, and this is evident in the tone and style of writing. Given the qualitative research goals of critiquing and changing problematic social structures, the target audience is often broader than that of quantitative research” (p. 349).

We have examined this topic quite frequently throughout this course. Qualitative and quantitative research reports are very different research tools. One is almost solely based on numbers and the other is not. Qualitative research reports focuses on the root of its name, which is “quality” and involved much more of a hands on approach based on experience and opinions whereas quantitative is rooted in numbers and results-driven data to justify or verify hypotheses and theories of different research studies. Qualitative research involves more personal types of gathering information from participants with interviews, for example. Using interviews is time consuming and includes bias but also provides a more comprehensive, first-hand view of the details of a given research study. Whereas, quantitative research is really more of a numbers game and involves collecting, organizing, and structuring data from a sample pool of participants in hopes of justifying whatever it is the research study is trying to prove.

There are a couple of different variables that would be explored in this study. These variables are gang-affiliated resistance and Mexican American families with adolescents. It is important that the researcher first defines gang-affiliated resistance and the culture of Mexican American families. The reason for this is due to the fact that not every person shares the same definition of these variables. What I may believe to be gang-affiliated resistance could very well differ from the family’s definition of gang-affiliation resistance. It is vital that all involved in the research study be on the same page and understands one another. I would ensure culturally relevant and ethical reporting by making sure that I include any limitations and biases that were present throughout the study. In addition, as the researcher, I would make sure that I did all that I could to be culturally competent when going into the study (Sherperis, Young, & Daniels, 2010).

Qualitative research is the study in the natural setting behaviorist, psychologist reports on their research for observing and documenting the research. The study is not in the form of numbers but the observation of their study. The methods used to conduct qualitative research is by survey, interviews, and observation. The documenting of the information gathered is reported in the language of the subject of the research.

Quantitative research is to study the data on a numerical for of categories, unit measurements, using graph and data. The method to perform quantitative data is a rating scale, data that is yes or no. Statistics are used in Quantitative research. The research is viewed as scientifically objective. Mathematics is used in quantitative research such as testing information with test numbers can be used.

Hello Everyone,

The independent variable would be the way the therapeutic group influences the adolescents. This would include the types of interventions and things that are practiced decreasing the chances of the adolescents joining a gang. For example, the reasons for the adolescent joining a gang maybe due to having a broken family, drug use, or wanting a sense of belonging from unmet needs. The dependent variable is the group of Mexican-American adolescents that are being tested. The possible hypothesis could be that family therapy impact Mexican-American adolescent from joining a gang (Holcomb-McCoy, 2000, p.83).

I should start with the processes that is in the text book to write the research report. After making the title and format, I would talk about the abstract which is just a brief of the study. (Sheperis, Young & Daniels, 2017). The study would also include the results, discussion and conclusion. I would incorporate the awareness of the Mexican-American population and identify the problems. I would search for other studies if any or find some statistics on the population joining a gang (Holcomb-McCoy, 2000, p.83). Focusing on the cultural competencies would improve the delivery to the culturally competent research report.

Although there maybe no significance that strengthening family ties has anything to do with the way that Mexican-American adolescents make decisions. The adolescents make their own decisions to war it has nothing to do with who the adolescents associate themselves with.

On the other hand, family therapy increases the bond and connection between families in the Mexican-American culture. Meaning, at the time that adolescent is most vulnerable is possible knowledge of cultural world-view (Holcomb-McCoy, 2000, p.83). Family therapy has impacted adolescents in a way that that gang affiliation in not an option. Having culturally competent skills in working with different clients is important (Holcomb-McCoy, 2000, p.83). The possible intervention was to develop family time after school and work that is strongly recommend by holding eachother accountable for being at home the designated time.

In conclusion, family therapy can positively influence Mexican-American adolescents from joining a gang. The more likely family therapy is part of the Mexican- American family and other families the less likely adolescent is familiar with gang affiliation. Because of the awareness of the Mexican-American culture, the more the counselor understands how to analyze the data (Holcomb-McCoy, 2000).
