Employee Recognition & Engagement Resources

Millennials are unlike any other generation in history. They are masters of social media. They are in tune with societal trends. And, above all, they are happy to walk away from their occupation in the hopes of finding a company that’s “a better fit.” In fact, 60 percent of millennials report they are presently open to a new job opportunity, and only 50 percent intend to remain at their current employer one year from now. Further, 36 percent report they will look for a job in the next 12 months if the economy improves, and one in five have already switched jobs at least once in the past year.

When it comes to millennials in the workplace, many employers are at a loss for how to retain their talents. More than any other segment of workers, millennials are more likely to walk away from an occupation. But, this doesn’t have to be the case. A recent survey by Gallup illustrates the positive impact a company can have on retaining millennials when they help promote well-being and work-life balance in the workplace.
