Executive Summary

The Millennials, born between 1980 and 2000, are now entering the workplace. They bring sharp technology skills, a desire for challenging work, flexibility, mobility, and an ability to work well in teams. These new employees often meet a seasoned workforce that has very different work styles. Human resources (HR) professionals must address the Millennial workforce needs by rethinking policies in talent management to retain new workers and provide collaborative tools, flexibility, and HR support that allow not only Millennials but all employees to increase their workplace productivity. What Millennials want to support their work — such as flexible work schedules, social media tools, or a collaborative environment — are work features other employees can benefit from, too.
