One of the questions we get asked a lot by clients is what do we think about Generation Y, are they really that different?

And our answer is we are not that sure. What is very clear is that there have been great societal changes and technological shifts over the last 20 years. This has led to big changes in how people see themselves and how they see their interactions with others. So I guess prima facia there is a case for there being a big intergenerational difference.
