Stay Connected

Millennials are likely to be more successful with an ongoing support system at work.


Make it meaningful

Claiming the highest volunteer rates in recent history, Millennials want a chance to do work that will benefit society. They are more likely to

respond if they feel their work has meaning and is connected to a greater good.

18


Create Goals Together

Millennials want to know how their position will benefit them, what skills they will learn and when they will be promoted.

19


Provide Flexibility

Skilled at multitasking and accustomed to media on demand, Millennials can consume 31 hours of media in a 24 hour period. (i.e.,

They are likely to get bored when tasked with a single project and need variety to stay engaged.)

20


Challenge them to Learn New Skills

Millennials have always been pushed to excel in school and with extracurricular activities. They view learning as a lifelong pursuit and are

hungry for new knowledge and training.

21


Encourage Teamwork

Millennials are peer oriented. They like to support each other and to work in groups, even while having their own independent tasks to

complete. Without a structured peer network to rely on they are likely to feel isolated and disengage from their work.

22


Recognize Success

Millennials are used to and expect to be recognized as someone special. They have also had limited exposure to critical feedback. To

stay motivated, Millennials need frequent encouragement and acknowledgement.
