GennGlobal discusses the most important things Millennials want and hope for while looking for work.

1. Thoughts
and
inspirations
from
“WHAT MILLENNIALS
ACTUALLY WANT IN
THE WORKPLACE”

3.  As millennials begin entering the workplace, there has
been a great deal of chatter about how to cater to
their needs.
 Some have speculated that they have different
motivations that those of the previous generation,
which makes the process all the more difficult.
 With their own perspective on what it means to work
and expectations on what a workplace should offer,
how should employers respond to millennial applicants?
 Next, we’ll dive into the topic!
INTRODUCTION

4.  In an attempt to create an aggregated list to answer
this question, Business News Daily came up with the
following list:
 Work-life balance
 Company stability
 Path to promotion
 Tuition reimbursement
 Competitive salary
 Professional development
 Healthcare and 401(k) benefits
WHAT MILLENNIALS WANT?
 Quality of company’s
product or service
 Social media transparency
 Employee diversity
 Health and wellness assets

6.  After doing further research, we found additional
sources that corroborated that millennials, by and
large, are likely interested in two important components
of their work:
 Achieving an acceptable work-life integration instead of
balance
 Having agency over their work and the knowledge that their
work has positive results on the world at large.
 This agency can easily be achieved by showing
millennials in the workplace the impact that their work
directly has on your customers and clients.
BIG DESIRES

7.  So what is with this distinction between work-life
balance and integration?
 The distinction is necessary because it displays a
willingness to, within reason, meld the work and
personal lives. This melding has many outcomes, one of
which is a shift away from the traditional 9–5 workday.
 Here’s an example of the difference: work-life
integration is a mixture of both aspects of life
throughout a day, while work-life balance focuses on
separating these aspects and balancing them into
equal chunks of one day.
WORK-LIFE BALANCE VS. WORK-LIFE
INTEGRATION

9.  In the end, we must recognise that regardless of
generation (or any other group for that matter), no
definition is binding to all people.
 Therefore, take this advice with a grain of salt.
 That said, this is a good starting place to begin from
when working with when you are considering
interviewing a millennial for an opening at your
business.
