Often called the ‘Me Generation’, Gen Y has been tagged by many employers as a group of workers who ‘want it all without having to work for it’.

Providing opportunities for career development and progression are well known factors in keeping employees satisfied and reducing staff turnover – yet business isn’t taking full advantage of this concept.

Australian businesses are suffering due to poor office hygiene – a shocking 1 in 6 office workers fall ill and cost up to $800 million in lost wages each year from sick days.
