Men Report Changed Attitudes Toward Work And Life
At last some hard data on what men want from life and work! The results of a study released in October 2004 titled “Generation & Gender in the Workplace” documents many things that change the equation regarding workplace attitudes. It was conducted by the Families and Work Institute and sponsored and funded by the American Business Collaboration (ABC), a group of eight major businesses, including two accounting/consulting firms, that believe collaboration can accomplish more than working alone.
The study contains rigorous research comparing the results of this 2002 study by generation and gender with 1977 and 1992 studies by the Families and Work Institute and the U.S. Department of Labor. While there is a plethora of data to chew on, some surprising and some confirming, the attitudes showing the most dramatic changes are from young men ' Generations X and Y ' as compared with Baby Boomers and Matures. I focus on the attitudes and objectives of young men because the spotlight regarding workplace flexibility has mostly been, both in organizations and in the media, on women ' predominantly mothers. Men have been mostly silent on their wants and feelings. Those of us who work on flexibility issues have had to ask for years, “Where are the men?”
When decision-makers in the workplace recognize that for the most part work and life objectives of both genders of the younger generations are similar, even though men are reluctant to speak up, the need to address changes in attitudes and responsibilities for everyone will be obvious and unavoidable.
