She said it also enables new staff to \u201cbuild on the unique skills they bring\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The report highlighted that younger people preferred bite-size learning and gaining knowledge from experience while receiving constructive feedback from their peers. While this generation admitted they were tech savvy, they disliked the idea of online training.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of these findings, the CIPD is urging graduate employers to focus predominantly on helping younger employees develop professionally, thus leading them to retain individuals and further improve business performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Developing future leaders<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The CIPD has noted that while the younger generation enter the workplace full of ambition, innovative thinking and technological understanding, they need to develop skills in acceptance, criticism, emotional intelligence and self awareness.<\/p>\n<p>The 2015 report from the CIPD found that 76% of employers have at least one program in place that is aimed at young people and graduates, including work-based degrees and apprenticeships.<\/p>\n<p>The Graduate Program Manager at Fujitsu, Nick White, said it is incredibly important for businesses to invest in younger people within their organizations as they drive \u201cengagement, increase efficiency and foster greater productivity across the workforce\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a graduate employer and would like to develop your future leaders, why not <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discovery-graduates.com\/what-we-do\/the-open-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">find out more about the Discovery OPEN Program here<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tech savvy younger generation of workers \u201cdislike\u201d online training, according to new research by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).
