3.  He reports that the arrival of Millennials on
the labor scene calls for new approaches
to reduce stress among employees.
Although human resources experts have
many tools at their disposal to measure and
build employee engagement, researchers
are beginning to wonder if these
innovations are too complex. Many
managers interviewed reported a desire to
simplify their technologies, rather than
continuing to use elegant but complicated
systems.

4.  As an example of how simplicity could be built
into internal studies of worker education and
skill acquisition, employers can replace large,
expensive surveys with regular check-ins, a
yearly review, and time to develop employees.
One model to achieve simplicity involves first
determining an overall goal, such as
enhancing sales productivity. Then, employers
can identify two or three challenging issues in
the workforce. Finally, management can
decide on which simple new method can
achieve those goals.
