Workers of their generation milennials and G generation are now more than half the labour force and reshape the rules governing the workplace.
Rules such as strict hours, specific clothing and holiday restrictions are still being observed by many companies. However, these rules are only some of those who have begun to contested . A typical example is Socialista Queen, a small social media marketing company based in Los Angeles, which adopts a A different approach.
In May, the company's 29-year-old Liat Aharon, founder and CEO, published a video in which she presents some of the rules she has enacted for her four employees. According to them, some of these rules are considered «different» in relation to what is common in a traditional working environment.
One of the company's policies is that team members can start the job any time they want in the day, as long as they complete eight hours of work.
The members of the team work with hybrid hours And they usually go to the office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, unless they're on a photo shoot. In this case, they may working remotely.
Each employee has about 10 days of vacation over the year. But if they wish to be gone for more days, such as a long journey, they are entitled to do so freely, without being paid for this time. It is a requirement to inform them early on that they will be missing.
Acharon says in CNBC Make It that she published the rules of her office after seeing another director of the generation Z to publish his own video. «He made me laugh, because I had no idea that these things were controversial.».
«I like living a good life.», says Aharon. «I think doing the job at the office fun should always be fun. priority. I think the office should be a safe place where people have a good time, because you never know what's waiting for them when they get home.», stated.
«The policies that I apply stem from the need for flexibility I wish I had in my teen years when I worked as a restaurant clerk, telephone saleswoman and other places. Moreover, I am influenced by my comments by friends who often express how they feel «unhappy» in their work».
«I just don't understand the point, because in my opinion it's very easy to create a pleasant environment if you have the right people.», says Aharon, adding that «recruitment of suitable people is very important in such situations».
The CEO usually does not seek specific training qualifications for its employees. «The first time I hired staff, I even wrote: «I don't care about your resumes. All I want is for you to know how to edit videos and show responsibility and mood for work. I don't care if you have degree to work in management of social media»».
She conducts the candidates' interviews and asks them questions, such as how they would handle a problem that might be created with a client, to understand how they make decisions and communicate.
Not all Aharon practices are specifically adapted to the Z generation. As she notes, the most effective step a candidate can take to distinguish «is to send a thank you email immediately after the interview».
«If I interview someone interested, he might contact me after three or four days, which I consider normal. But contacting me after an hour or the same day will do. particularly good impression, as I think that He really wants it.»He says.
Aharon says some of her colleagues describe her management style as «lenient», although she does not agree with this designation.
«Έχω κι εγώ τα όριά μου – και κανένα μέλος της ομάδας δεν τα έχει ξεπεράσει ποτέ», εξηγεί. Όπως λέει, είναι σημαντικό να μην γίνεται κατάχρηση της ευελιξίας, είτε πρόκειται για τις άδειες, είτε για τις προθεσμίες. «Τους εξήγησα ότι αυτοί είναι οι «διασκεδαστικοί» κανόνες, μέχρι κάποιος να με αναγκάσει να τους αλλάξω. Έτσι πιστεύω πως πρέπει να είναι και η ζωή: δείχνεις εμπιστοσύνη στους ανθρώπους, μέχρι να σου αποδείξουν ότι δεν την αξίζουν».
«Χάρη στις ευέλικτες πολιτικές της εταιρείας δεν έχουν δημιουργηθεί never προβλήματα με κάποιον από τους περίπου δώδεκα πελάτες μας, μεταξύ των οποίων μια επιχείρηση κοσμημάτων, μια εταιρεία μετακομίσεων και ένα ορθοδοντικό ιατρείο», δήλωσε η Άχαρον.
