There’s no denying that Millennials are a bit of a different bird. When it comes to how they view the world and the workplace, there are several factors to consider that are affecting their viewpoint. Let’s take a look at some of the facts about Millennials that shape the way they see the modern workplace:
Millennials currently make up 34% of today’s workforce and will steadily increase that number to 75% by 2025. Over 63% of Millennials have a bachelor’s degree. At least 64% of Millennials would rather make $40,000 a year at a job they love than $100,000 a year at a job they think is boring. Millennials are considered amazing multitaskers, even though brain science tells us that multitasking is a myth. More likely, they are apt at switching tasks quickly enough to appear to be doing them simultaneously. Millennials value community, family and creativity in their work. The majority of Millennials don’t have a landline—they rely on cell phones to communicate, including their social media platforms.
