Millennials, born between 1980-2000, make up a large portion of today's workforce and consumer base. They are tech-savvy, goal-oriented, and self-confident. As employees, they expect flexibility, frequent promotions, and work-life balance. As consumers, they are heavily influenced by social media and visual content and spend significant portions of their income on dining out, travel, and clothing. To maximize their potential at work, companies should understand what motivates Millennials and how to engage them through their preferred communication methods.
