Millennials recently surpassed Baby Boomers in terms of numbers in the workforce. It is certain that soon you either will manage a Millennial or be managed by one. Here are some things to understand about this powerful generation.
1. They like teamwork. This can be a big advantage in that camaraderie is already pre-programmed.
2. They like challenges, thrive on varied activities and want feedback in order to make appropriate adjustments.
3. They seek a work-life balance — a good lesson for everyone.
Honoring the strengths and weaknesses of each generation in today’s workforce helps us all better move organizational objectives forward.
