Generation Y Makes Waves in Workplace

"They might wear flip flops to the office and address colleagues as 'dude,' but the youngest generation of workers brings fresh creativity and openness to the workplace. The challenge of managing Generation Y, or the Millennials -- born between 1980 and 1999 -- has spawned a small industry of expertise and literature, including 'Keeping the Millennials,' new this month, and 'Y in the Workplace,' due out in July. Both books argue that the newest generation is making waves in the office that must be addressed and tended. Some 40 million Millennials work in corporate America, a figure expected to hit 58 million by 2014."
