Second-Wave Millennials
Tapping the Potential of America’s Youth
Available Now!
One of the top reasons Millennials leave jobs is due to poor management. Millennials choose to work for and stay with “employers whose values reflect their own.” They place a higher emphasis on purpose as opposed to growth or profits. The three best ways for companies to provide a sense of long-term loyalty are identifying, understanding, and aligning with their values; supporting Millennials’ ambitions and professional development, and having a mentor. Additionally, the strongest ways to attract—and keep—the best working Millennials include a simple and sophisticated digital presence, and promoting a company climate that is positive and team-oriented.
