The panel discussed the significant change in the compositions of teams within an organization or company in these modern times comprising of members from nearly four generations; how these new fresh employees have distinct expectations and aspirations they want to achieve that are rather very different from the past generations and also how work in itself is transforming in terms of its definition; how it gets done in terms of tools, skills and where can this work be done. They further discussed that this was more of an opportunity rather than a challenge that managers could help unleash the new generation accomplish their full potential by using an adaptive design approach where personalized roadmaps in terms of skills, needs, and flexibility are implemented and how a bottom-up approach could help engage more employees and give them a sense of accountability. There should be an environment where employees are proud of their association with a particular organization; where they feel they have a purpose and a sense of belonging and how HR can play a crucial role in it.
