Nicola Collett Layout/Design/Editor: Joyce Dexter Project Manager: Janet Cave Seely HEADLINES It’s a Generational Thing Traditionalists, or Silents—born before 1946 Baby Boomers—born between 1946 and 1964 Generation X—born between 1965 and 1976 Generation Y, or Millennials—born between 1977 and 1997 Generation Z—born after 1997 he moving and relocations business is not much different from most other industries, Tperhaps with the exception of infotech, wherein our current workforce has representa- tion from all the generations. People are living and working longer, some because they have to and others because they want to. But as time goes on and things evolve, we need to be mindful that what stimulates engagement or motivates one generation of employees (and customers) is not necessarily go- ing to have the desired effect on other generations. But how could that be? Aren’t people just people? It is said we are a product of our environment, but I know the environment in which I personally grew up, and the state of the moving industry is a lot different today from what it was 70 years ago, when I was born, and 50 years ago, when I started out in this industry. Don’t get me wrong—a lot of things are very much the same today as they were way back when. Someone still has to go in and pack things up and carry them out to the truck. But pretty much everything before and after the actual move has evolved, and it’s not just TERRY R. HEAD technology that has brought about those changes. IAM President We’ve seen tremendous shifts in human nature and behavioral patterns. This is evident not only when we look at the age diversity of our workforce, but also in the way our custom- er base now views our industry. There have been innovative and disruptive changes in how the accounts and consumers source for moving and storage services, as well as what sets and meets their expectations for a good price, good move and good service. Some want it cheap, some want it quick, some want quality. And some want all three—which is a tall order to fill. Recognizing those changes in how our customers think and act is exactly why we need to continually reassess what our employees need in the way of training, tools, skill sets and practices, as well as our companies’ policies and procedures. One size does not fit all in this mixed, multigenerational environment. Throw in the international nature of our industry, with its variety of cultural and diversity challenges, and you have a very interesting land- scape. This is where multiple generations can be not only the challenge, but also the solution to the challenge. The broad range of knowledge, experience and cultural familiarity that is embraced by each generation just might be our industry’s greatest assets—qualities that can and should be shared willingly and openly. We need to find the appropriate ways to move people toward the same mindset and a willingness to interact, cooperate and collaborate. I don’t think this can or should be forced. It has to come about through social interaction and social learn- ing. In other words, we need to talk to each other. We need to be open to investing time and energy in learning about each other. With the multigenerational employees in our workforce today, companies need to rec- ognize that the traditional methods of leadership and management may no longer offer the “right” way to bring about the desired results. An excellent way to get the generations to work better together is to create opportunities through awareness and sharing sessions. This would allow them to educate each other about their history, characteristics, memories and milestones, culture and language, as well as fears and dreams, from both a professional and a personal perspective. A good place to begin is with the younger people in our companies and industry. This issue of The Portal is focused on members of our Young Professionals group (IAM-YP). I think you will enjoy reading their personal stories and expect that you will find inspiration that you can apply to your own life and career, regardless of your generation. 6 September/October 2018 • THE PORTAL IAM: Moving Forward Together By land, air or sea, the DeWitt Companies MAKE IT EASY EASY AFFORDABLE SAFE Our experienced staff and Our rates are competitive, Your shipments are kept personalized service makes moving and our outstanding service safe and secure no matter shipments simple and easy. is unmatched. how far they’re going.
