The best Work Methods for today's Information Age Employee

We all know that we live in the information age and how technology has changed the landscape of societys work force but where technology has been a positive force for productivity the transition for today's work force has not been so fortunate. The question remains how do you facilitate the best work methods for today's information age employee?

The answer lies in understanding that the work methods that defined the baby boomer and there kids are not applicable to today's employee. It's hard to imagine but many of today's employee's don't even know that there were devices called time clocks and you actually have to input your time in when you came in when you want to lunch and when you left.

I'm not trying to be amusing here but stress how far the disconnect is between today's work force and yesterdays. Putting your line out for the company and the notion of doing a hard day's work for an honest day pay holds little weight when information is channeled in a micro second.

To facilitate the best work methods requires and understanding of the generation your going to employ. Hard work needs to be inspired and constant praise is now neccessary for good work. An emphasis on family values and company goals centered around the theme "we are all in this together" does more for moral and produces a more productive worker.

This method is not only applicable to white collar work but also is neccessary for blue collar employees as well. We have all seen the ever changing landscape of the fast food restaurant and its up to date facilities. They too will have to restructure their work method as their work force comprises of teenagers or young adults who smart phones and ipads are a daily neccessity of their lives.

In today's work force the best work method is based on not only understanding your customer but also knowing, facilitating and sympathetic to the employee.
