Though you may not be feeling it yet, effectively engaging Millennials will be key to the success for organizations of all stripes for the next 40 years.
Between 1980 and 1996, approximately 73 million Millennials were born. By 2020, and they are expected to comprise about 50% of the US workforce and 75% of the global workforce by 2030.
Are you ready? Here’s one thing you can do to increase their engagement at work.
They Want More
In their recent report, How Millennials Want to Work and Live, Gallup found that Millennials struggle to find good jobs that engage them, and only 29% of employed Millennials are engaged at work. “Are Millennials getting what they want out of work and life? Not so much,” Gallup concluded.
Engaging Millennials: A Big Step
Millennials are the most tech savvy generation yet to enter the workforce. They’ve probably never faxed anything and wonder why there is so much paper in a digital world. They also expect intuitive cloud software to get their work done in the office or remotely.
Which of the following do you think is a better way to engage Millennials?
- With a paper-based time and attendance process and clunky on-premise T&A software
- With paperless processes, cloud-based time tracking and mobile access
The answer not only creates stronger engagement with the Millennial workforce but is also crucial for doing more with less from all employee generations.
