CAREER EXPERT
Dear Chris,
Ive been wondering whether I can continue to do my current job as I find it boring and unfulfilling. Im also frustrated at the lack
of career progression. My friend from university recently returned from a long trip overseas and said it was a great experience. Im
now considering taking a career break is it a good idea for my career?
Regards,
Yi Min
Dear Yi Min,
If you decide to take a career break there
may be no guarantee of a suitable job upon
return. Even if you negotiate time off with
your employer, economic conditions can
change and businesses may have to adjust
their workforce accordingly. Time off
work could also impact on opportunities
for promotion and development.
However, taking a career break can be
a way of enhancing your personal and
professional development. There are a
their batteries so they return to work reenergised and focused on the kind of work
they want to do. If you decide to quit your
job there will be an element of risk, but
as the old saying goes nothing ventured,
nothing gained.
Good luck!

Open up the office. Millennials generally dont work well under rigid management structure.
They prefer open collaborations that allow employees to share information and for everybody
to contribute to decision-making. Assign work to teams of employees and have them present
finished product to the entire department. The idea is to take advantage of the Millennials
preference for teamwork and to encourage more solidarity throughout the workplace.
Toss the routines. Experts say Millennials and Gen Xers dislike the formality of regular
meetings, especially when theres nothing to discuss. Limit meetings to when theres a real
need.
Create recognition programs. Even simple gestures like a pat on the back or positive email
congratulations can help boost productivity with Gen Xers. Boomers may seek status so may
respond best to an office-wide memo that announces that they are meeting or exceeding
their goals. Millennials may seek validation and approval so will appreciate increased
responsibility and additional training opportunities. To this end, Millennials may also prefer
more frequent employee reviews.
Accommodate personal employee needs. Different generations of employees will be in
different stages of life and may require that employers offer some scheduling flexibility to
manage their personal time. But maintain parity so other employees dont feel alienated.
Boomers who are thinking of retirement, for example, may want to cut the number of hours
they work in exchange for reduced pay. Gen Xers who need to leave work early to attend a
parent/teacher function can agree to make up lost time at another date. Support Millennials
who may want to pursue another degree part time and extend the same educational
opportunities to other employees.
Give all employees a voice. Regardless of age and tenure, give all employees a forum in
which to present ideas, concerns and complaints. Department heads should facilitate open
communication throughout the office and set aside time to provide honest feedback.
Dont apply a blanket communication-method policy. Boomers may prefer to communicate
by phone or in person. Millennials grew up being in constant communication with peers and
coworkers so are accustomed to emailing, texting or sending instant messages.
Dont confuse character issues like immaturity, laziness or intractability with
generational traits. Whereas Boomers may see a 60-hour work week as a prerequisite
to achieving success, many hard-working Millennials may prefer a more balanced life that
includes reasonable working hourswith occasional bouts of overtimeand weekends off.
The latter may also voluntarily choose to make up the time in unstructured settings like
working at a Starbucks on weekends.
TIPS:
Accommodate different learning styles.
Consider personal employee needs, such as flexibility with scheduling.
Dont confuse character problems like immaturity or laziness with generational traits.
Be careful not to follow blanket stereotypes.
