- 21% of millennials have changed jobs within a year. More than a fifth of all millennials in the workforce have switched jobs within 12 months. This number is 3 times higher than the workers who don’t belong to this age group. Half of the millennial workers think they’ll be working for the same company within the next 12 months, while 60% of non-millennials think the same.

- How do you deal with millennials in the workplace? Millennial engagement in the workplace could be much better if they were managed properly. Establishing clear goals with milestones is one of the ways that can be achieved. Millennials also appreciate being recognized for their work. Ultimately, what makes millennials want to stay with a company is treating them like humans and not like disposable corporate drones.
- What are the core values of millennials? Working with millennials means understanding who they are and what they stand for. This generation tends to regard companies that don’t make the greater good of the society their priority as disposable. Millennials are also commonly described as optimistic about the long-term, but uncertain about the short-term future, which should also be kept in mind when managing them.
