According to a Pew Research study, millennials are self-directed learners and employees. They are the first generation that has been born into technology and therefore use it for almost all the tasks in their daily life. Now with the baby boomers retiring from the workforce, the millennials are taking over rapidly. If you want to stay ahead of competitors, you need to invest in transitioning with the new workforce.
By 2025, millennials are expected to become the largest workforce in the United States as well as all over the world. They are expected to constitute almost 75% of the workforce. They will be everywhere. If you wish to survive and grow, you need them. So, there is no way you can ignore them if you want them to remain skilled and contribute to the growth of your organization.
Millennials want inclusion and involvement. If they are not involved with the strategic vision of the company, then they will simply leave. They want to be heard and they need to feel that their opinion matters. They strive to add value to the organization and get noticed. Millennials are unlike their predecessors. They have diverse learning preferences. They are the ones that will work for you in the future. So, it is important to listen to their needs and create millennial-friendly training.
