Staying Agile in the Workplace: Preparing for the Millennial Movement

Staying Agile in the Workplace: Preparing for the Millennial Movement

As of today, just over one-third of the workforce are members of Generation Y, making Millennials the largest generation in the US labor force. As Baby Boomers continue to retire and the labor pool shrinks, Millennials will become an increasingly larger percentage of the workforce, so learning to recruit and retain these workers is essential.

Companies must learn to position themselves as an employer of choice by younger generations. This requires a substantial amount of change for many companies, as Millennials and members of the generation behind them – Generation Z – have different priorities compared to workers of the previous generations.

Using innovative solutions to source talent, such as the Talent Direct program from nTech, can help your business adapt to changing demands in the job market and fill your organization with diverse, forward-thinking employees. If you aren’t sure how to prepare for the Millennial movement and the introduction of Gen Z to the workforce, here are some tips for getting up to speed.

Enhance the Early Employee Experience

When you secure a new hire, the employee’s early experiences play a significant role in how their opinion of the company is shaped. Having a welcoming and comprehensive onboarding process, ensuring that all requirements are met, helps the employee understand what is expected of them in a certain role or project.

Younger employees like Millennials also appreciate having a thorough plan for development and training prepared before they walk in on their first day. This helps you make a strong first impression as an employer and shows the employee you’re invested in their success.

Your intention in these early days should be to showcase the company as an inspiring and supportive environment that facilitates growth and professional development. By ensuring that the new hire’s first experiences are positive and well-organized, they will expand their initial opinion to the entire organization, increasing the odds that they will stay for the long-term.

Craft Your Company Culture

In many ways, companies allow their culture to develop by accident. They don’t always take active steps to control and mold their workplace in that manner, a move that can actually be a mistake.

Today’s Millennial workers put more value on workplace culture than previous generations. They have an innate desire to find an employer that provides them with job satisfaction, high levels of engagement and a source of happiness and pride at work. They want to make meaningful contributions and understand how those contributions factor into the bigger picture.

If you want to attract top talent, then having a welcoming environment is a must. Similarly, making transparency a priority is essential, especially in an employee’s early days where they typically have a lot of questions.

Provide Opportunities for Employee Growth

Creating a culture that emphasizes growth and development is also incredibly attractive to younger generations. Whether that is through classroom learning, cross-training opportunities, mentorship programs, or a combination of approaches, showcasing that the company cares about the new hire’s career and capabilities can make you stand out as an employer of choice.

Ultimately, staying agile in the workplace allows you to adapt to the needs of younger generations, ensuring that you are viewed as an attractive employer in the eyes of these professionals.
