Millennials are often criticized for seeking immediate results and being glued to their devices.
But it makes perfect sense.
These are learned preferences that mirror today’s society in which technology delivers instant gratification and quick access to information. And it’s no surprise that millennials have these same expectations when it comes to the workplace.
Engagement is another piece of the millennial puzzle. With the majority of millennials (55%) disengaged at work, today’s organizations are missing out on great talent. These millennial workers do not put energy or passion into their jobs—and organizations must work to change this.
For organizations interested in harnessing the power of millennials, it is best to embrace their preferences and give this generation exactly what they want at work—personal development, flexibility, interaction, engagement and instant access.
