Acute need to fill positions when an organization changes its strategic direction
Need for top talent to be adaptable, aligned and focused on outcomes
Millenials want to provide input on their work assignments and want and need the support of their supervisors
How do you connect with them?
Place a high priority on:
workplace culture and environment, emphasizing teamwork
sense of community
transparency (as it relates to decisions about their careers)
The Intelligence Group studies of Millenials found that:
64% of them say it’s a priority for them to make the world a better place
72% would like to be their own boss; if they do have to work for a boss, 79% of them want boss to serve more as a coach or mentor
88% prefer collaborative work culture rather than competitive one
74% want flexible work schedules
88% want “work-life integration,” not the same as work-life balance, since work and life now blend together inextricably
Performance management processes are being replaced with coaching and conversations.
Top down goal setting replaced by engagement models focused on collaboration and teamwork
Processes are aligning more deliberately to connect business goals to employees goals
Employees are expecting a:
Workplace they are passionate about
Roles that matters
Mobile-enabled workforce, any data, anytime
Engagement using social integrated apps
Focus on leaders throughout the business
Integration of talent, HR systems and technologies
