Acknowledge their intelligence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You have to admit that with the changing times, it\u2019s the new blood in the office who are the most tech savvy. Fresh grads today will have grown up in a world full of information and access to it. They are lazy but they are smart. If you integrate this into your management approach, you can tame them to be productive and contributive to your company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Look_at_the_hierarchy_as_though_its_flat\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">2. Look at the hierarchy as though it\u2019s flat<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Young people today hate hierarchy. Even if it does not affect them directly, they will reject the notion of it. If you aren&#8217;t the head honcho at the company, with the power you do have, foster an environment where everyone is equal or nearing levels. This will create a harmony between employees and save you the trouble of endless hierarchal debates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Challenge_them\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">3. Challenge them<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Just because they are the new kids on the block does not mean that they aren\u2019t up to a challenge. If menial work is part of the job description, have them do it. However, it might also be worth adding some extra work or projects onto their plate. Fresh grads love to prove that they can do things and they will appreciate a manager who acknowledges that they can do more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Put_them_in_their_place\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">4. Put them in their place<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Fresh grads, and young people in general, love to pick fights and stand up for the dozens of things they believe in. While this can be admirable, it can also be over-excessive at times. Do not be afraid to tell them off and set things straight. Even if they will make up the majority of your new recruits, remind them that company policy is company policy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At the end of the day, they still work for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sign_up_on_Kalibrr_and_start_hiring_better_today_You_can_also_follow_us_on_Facebook_for_more_business_and_recruiter_advice\"><\/span><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalibrr.com\/?utm_source=b2b-blog&amp;utm_medium=in-text&amp;utm_content=sign-up-text&amp;utm_campaign=social-content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Sign up on Kalibrr<\/strong><\/a> and start hiring better today!
