Helen Tynan, Head of Human Resources for Google Ireland spoke recently at a "Commmerce and Cornflakes" breakfast , organised by the National College of Ireland and sponsored by cereal manufacturers Kellogs.
Ms Tynan told attendees at the breakfast that Google as a company has its pluses and minuses but there were things that worked for them that could be transferred to other companies.
What she didn't say, but what is true, that there are things that work for Google that could also work for ophthalmologists, particularly in the way they run and manage their practices.
To get inside the mindsite of Gen Y workers she asked the audience to think of teenagers aged 16 and 17 and young adults in the early 20s.
“They don’t sit, they land, they sprawl. When you are talking to them they are texting at the same time or checking their Facebook status or surfing the net. When they’re watching TV they have their laptops and they’re surfing at the same time. ake that and think about trying to put those people into a workforce and getting the best out of that generation.”
