We’ve just started a partnership project with the Institute of Leadership and Management looking at the interface between graduates and the organisations they join and what makes for successful, or troubled, relationships.
The project builds on the Gen Y research led by Dr. Carina Schofield and Sue Honore in 2008-9. It will examine the expectations of graduates in their first couple of years at work, how they are perceived by line managers, and what their employing organisations expect of them and are doing to support a productive working relationship from the start.
The research will be published in summer 2011, following a rigorous review of the literature and empirical data collection.
