Millennials are entering an important life stage for banks, as this segment of the population is starting to build wealth while driving potential sales growth in financial products and services. This segment tends to use more primary banking products than Baby Boomers and carry a higher minimum balance in their checking accounts. An additional reason for the increased focus on this segment is based on the rapid growth in size versus other cohorts such as Baby Boomers. This study will translate the many research documents into an ideal Millennial Experience (MX) for the banking industry through our Omni Experience Model and will help define the role of physical branches versus online. http://www.sld.com

Growing communities: How charity leaders govern social media globally to thri...Paul Thomas
I contributed to this over two years ago and the content is still hugely relevant, not just in the charity and non-profit sector, but to all businesses trying to get to grips with the impact of social media and our digital, connected world.
Many charities consider social media a key channel to deliver their communications and fundraising goals, although few incorporate it into their core strategy – a problem exacerbated by the social media knowledge gap at senior levels in charities worldwide.
Drawing on interviews with international charity leaders and Grant Thornton Not for Profit specialists, this report provides charity leaders with guidance on how they can enable their charity to take advantage of social media’s power to engage new communities and to thrive online.
Key findings
• Strategy: Organisational strategy should drive social media use, the board must help formulate this from a position of knowledge.
• Governance: The social media governance approach and guidelines should be shared with everyone in the organisation.
• Education and training: Formal education should be used at every level. Internal social networks can help people gain knowledge of social media.
• Risk: Social media non-engagement is a risk in itself, although costs must be weighed against benefits.
• Impact: It is vital to measure social media outcomes to justify investment; metrics should be linked to a strategic goal and monitored.

The following is a plan describing a simple and practical way for business leaders to think about gaining the benefits of social behaviors (and the technologies supporting those behaviors).
In many ways the promise of a ‘social business’ is to get us back to what we care about — people working together to create something of greater value than they could have if they had remained unconnected and apart.

En este informe se describen las últimas tendencias en esquemas de beneficios sociales flexibles y especialmente las relacionadas con la modalidad de Benefits Club para empleados.
Las principales conclusiones del estudio son:
• la situación económica actual está induciendo un deterioro en la relación entre empleados y empresas;
• los modelos de beneficios flexibles son un factor de motivación importante que actúa como elemento de retención del talento;
• España está en el grupo de cabeza mundial en programas de beneficios flexibles, pero tanto el abanico de ofertas como las opciones de flexibilización son muy inferiores a las que se aplican en los países anglosajones. Las posibilidades de crecimiento en esta área son inmensas;
• el modelo de Benefits Club aporta valor a las empresas y a los empleados. Es una forma muy rentable de incrementar la satisfacción y la fidelidad de los empleados;
• la tendencia predominante es que los Benefits Club sean gestionados por proveedores externos especializados que se responsabilicen de proporcionar la plataforma tecnológica, comunicar e incrementar la oferta a los empleados, gestionar la flexibilización del plan y obtener y procesar la información que permita el seguimiento y evaluación del mismo;
• el 72% de las pymes españolas no tiene programa de beneficios sociales para sus empleados. El modelo de Benefits Club es una fórmula sencilla y económica de resolver esta carencia.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

“Stop trying to figure out Millennials and just include them.”
That was one wish of a participant in our Millennial focus group. This theme was seen throughout our re-
search as Millennials showed a desire for nonprofits to be more accessible and inclusive of this generation.
Millennials are eager to be taken seriously as future donors, volunteers, and leaders for causes they
care about.
In many ways, our ongoing study of Millennials continues to be a study of contrasts. After three years of
research, we’ve learned that, yes, these young donors are fully immersed in the pace and technology
of our times, but they are also invested in timeless values.
They want to give and to serve. They want involvements that engage their minds as well as their hands.
In the end, they want to build authentic, personal relationships with nonprofits.
It is not overstating to say that a big part of the nonprofit sector’s future relies on its ability to respond
to these young people’s charitable inclinations; yet in surveying nonprofit practitioners, we found many
common perceived barriers emerge for why nonprofits were not making engaging Millennials more of a
priority. Often they felt it was not worth the time, that this generation did not yield a high enough return
on investment, and in some ways was rather high maintenance.
We hope this study will help nonprofits move past their current assumptions of this generation
and focus on the key areas that will help their organizations move forward. Millennials have proven
themselves to be generous and willing. But they also have proven to have high expectations. Meeting
those expectations and making it possible for Millennials to give, serve, and spread the word on their
terms will allow nonprofit organizations to grow stronger and do even more good in the long-term.

Most often, it seems, Millennials use their smartphones as mobile computers – the majority of those
connections have been for the purpose of reading emails or e-newsletters (67%), getting updates from
an organization (51%), or sharing news or updates about a nonprofit organization with friends and
family (33%). Regardless of the purpose, Millennials want to be able to have access to your
information whenever and wherever they are. Since the majority of smartphone users are reading
emails on their phones, it is important that e-newsletters and solicitations be easy to read on mobile
devices.

How to get millennials to step up & take action
Millennials want to get involved and support causes they care about. 63% of surveyed Millennials reported
they volunteered for nonprofits in 2011. This good news is matched with more: 90% of respondents said
they expect to volunteer as much or more in 2012 than in 2011. And there’s more good news: by a margin
of more than two-to-one, Millennials who volunteer for nonprofits are more likely to make donations.

Donor options continue to evolve
Millennials overwhelmingly showed that they prefer to donate through the web with 70% of
respondents having made 2011 gifts online through a nonprofit’s webpage. This makes the case
for having a great website as the online hub for your organization even more important. While new
technologies are catching on in engagement of Millenials, more traditional means still bring value to
an appeal. 39% of Millennials said gifts were made to a person or at an event, and another 34% said
they sent a gift in the mail, although it’s unclear whether direct mail or some other form of appeal
prompted the gift.

In focus groups, participants differed on the subject of direct mail, some thinking that it would stand
out as they now only get junk mail; others saying “save a tree” and money. Others supported a
multi-channel approach, saying while they may read the direct mail and be influenced to give, they
would still donate online, as they are unlikely to have stamps or checks.
Phone giving appears to no longer be as strong of a means of soliciting this generation with only
15% having given last year verbally on the phone and only 2% saying it was their top preference to
give in that manner. While nonprofits are still finding this to be successful, in the future as Millennials
continue to live without landlines and find solicitation calls on their cell phone intrusive, we expect
this to change. Phone calls may remain an important means for engaging Millennials and building
relationships, with less emphasis on transacting donations.

USE FRIENDLY PERSUASION
Throughout our research, peer influence has played an important role in motivating Millennials to
volunteer, attend events, participate in programs and give. This remains true even when it comes to
asking others for donations. Even if Millennials can’t give as much as some other demographic groups,
they nonetheless are willing to help raise funds for causes they care about, usually by calling on friends
and family.
More than 70% of Millennials surveyed said they have raised money on behalf of nonprofits. Of those
who have not, almost half said it’s because they simply haven’t had the opportunity.

said they have raised donation pledges for an event. Even in their fundraising, Millennials showed their
technology preferences: slightly more than 40% of respondents said they have promoted a nonprofit
on Facebook and posted a link for friends to give, and 21% have set up an online fundraising page for
their favorite cause.

NONPROFITS TAKING RISKS TO GROW ENGAGEMENT
This year for the first-time, we surveyed nonprofits to see how large of a priority addressing this
new generation was, what successes they were having engaging Millennials, and what barriers
they most struggled to overcome. With more than 80 organizations responding, we saw a lot of variety
from organizations that did not feel it was worth their time yet to engage this audience, to those who
know and believe it must be a priority.
Those organizations that have made engaging Millennials a priority are experimenting with different
ways to overcome the obstacles that come from the cultural shift apparent with this generation. While
most of these nonprofits were primarily working on getting Millennials connected and involved, they
believe the payoff will come later in donations as these relationships further develop.
While there is no one magic solution to reaching Millennials, these organizations all showed that with a
dedicated effort, willingness to take risks, and to experiment, Millennial engagement can have a great
return for the organizations growth both now and in the future.

chicago humanities
Chicago Humanities Festival recently created a young
professional focus group to regularly meet and help the
organization be more thoughtful and inclusive when
working on audience development, raising awareness and
access to Festival events.
“Rather than try to raise revenue from this group
prematurely, Chicago Humanities Festival is working with
its focus group to increase inclusivity and word-of-
mouth recommendations,” said Audrey Peiper, Director
of Individual Giving. “We are using our focus groups
to develop specific offerings targeted to the Millennial
age group. Chicago Humanities Festival offers over
100 different programs throughout the year, many of
which naturally are more relevant and/or attractive to
a younger audience. As a result, we are framing those
relevant programs in ways to increase Millennials’
access and engagement.”

THE salvation army
Many organizations are finding it’s not only helpful to have Millennial volunteers, but to also include
them in key roles on the board and staff to begin addressing cross-generational issues. In fact, all the
most successful organizations surveyed, were ones that included at least 3 or more Millennials on staff.
The Salvation Army recently added a position specifically designed to reach out to Millennials.
“We’re beginning to see the glaring differences in how generations look at doing business.
The new position will allow a Millennial employee to lead strategies and initiatives that meet Millennials
where they are,” said Rob Reardon, Captain National Young Adult Initiative Coordinator.
ELMHURST COLLEGE
Elmhurst College has found success through providing opportunities for young professionals to serve
on the alumni association board and specifically on a Millennial committee. The committee members
are working together on outreach to their peers including professional networking events, social
gatherings (sporting events, pub nights, etc.), as well as hosting events with Millennials and current
students at the College.
“Millennials are quickly becoming one of their largest constituencies, so it is important that we
begin cultivating them as soon as possible,” said Samantha Kiley, Director of Alumni Relations at
Elmhurst College. “Having Millennials on the alumni association board allows us to create
programming that will engage this group in a meaningful way. They are able to network with
their peers, which will increase our reach to this important constituency.”
cancer council sa
Cancer Council SA has engaged more than 130
people in taking action to prevent cancer as community
ambassadors. This volunteer group has helped move
peer fundraisers with no formal relationship with the or-
ganization to advocates for the cause.
“Because most of our Millennials are working
professionals, the most important strategy is to
allow them to use their education and early
experiences. They are not burdened with ‘we
already tried that or ‘it didn’t work at XYZ agency.’
We encourage ‘have a go’, risk-focused thinking,”
said Matt Sarre, Senior Project Officer.
