Title - Get the best out of millennials
Some pointers that I've got are:
1. Digitally savvy team players
2. Challenge the millennials
On Digitally savvy team players
- Millennials, having been brought up in a society and education system which places emphasi on results and efficiency, adopt the same mindset in their careers. Often, this means an ambitious and opinionated character, a vast difference from the 'keep a stiff upper lip' mentality practiced by the older generation.
- Born into a digital era, millennials are a natural in the online realm. Communication takes place in real-time through various mediums, from mobile messaging apps to e-mails. In a highly evolving world where communication tools are ever-changing, adaptability is a trait that is highly valued.
- Millennials are used to working in groups and teams. In contrast to the solo flyer attitude of earlier generations, millennials believe that team work accomplishes tasks more efficiently.
- Work-life balance is a phrase that has been used often in the recent years. This is directly an influence of millennials, who value their personal lives highly. To them, work-life balance does not just refer to a reasonable work load or being able to leave the office on time. It also means having an enjoyable working environment and fostering healthy office relationships through team bonding activities.
- Millennials are believers of structure. For example, reports should have monthly due dates, and meetings backed by agendas and minutes. This way, they are able to keep track of their progress and assess if a goal is achievable.
On Challenge the millennials
- Due to their competitive nature, a millennial is always up for a challenge. Having grown up in a time where information is easily accessible, answers to many challenges can be readily found online.
- As such, millennials have developed into a group that wants to work on new and tough problems that require creative solutions.
Yours,
Something Small Thinking Big
