INDUSTRY TRENDS
***Managing Millennials in the Workforce*** "Millennials (those born from 1980 to the present) have begun to enter the workforce with different attitudes from previous generations, " says Bob Kustka, HR consultant. "Their access and familiarity with data via the Internet makes them more capable of making informed decisions. They are more interested in quality of life and work-life balance, and have a greater inclination for immediate gratification. While some may see them as the 'me' generation, their abilities and forward thinking can't be denied. Managers need to integrate their strengths into the workforce by focusing on the core values of their company through their established office culture and values."
