The kids aren’t alright: Understanding needs of young workers in a healthcare environment

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds his own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

This review gives not only a frightening but also helpful insight into the future of work in the public sector. While a solution presents itself so easily, the way forwards toward it must be regarded with trepidation, as if calls to increase youth employment through additional workers being drawn to the aged healthcare sector are unsuccessful, there will be a very bleak future indeed for those at both ends of the employment spectrum.

Practical implications

This paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives’ and researchers’ hours of reading time by selecting the very best and most pertinent information and by presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
