Attracting & Retaining Millennial Talent

June 30, 2017

There are four primary generations in the labor market, and each possesses beneficial skills and workplace preferences. This webinar breaks down said skills and preferences so you can capitalize on your diverse workforce. 

The growing generational gap in our labor pool requires targeted investment in attracting, onboarding, and retaining Millennial talent. With our most experienced employees delaying retirement more and more, innovative solutions are required to combat the perceived lack of advancement opportunities.     

Steve Lessaris, a Senior Associate in our Professional Search division and managing editor for Millennial Politics, and Kyle Hoffman. Listen as Steve interviews Kyle about his experiences as Vice President of Customer Success at Insureon, a leading small business commercial insurance broker, and his successes in recruiting and working with the younger talent base employed at the company.

In order to successfully recruit Millennials, the perception of your company and industry needs to be curated.

  • 46% of Millennials want diverse opportunities.
  • 50% of Millennials want a stable job.
  • 64% want to make a difference.

MANAGING ACROSS GENERATIONS:

  • Fight stereotypes and generalizations with cross-generational discussions. 
  • All generations crave respect in the workplace.
  • Each generation is motivated by personal goals and seek flexibility and the opportunity for rewarding work.
  • Don’t just build tolerance; build diversity and inclusion. 
  • Ask! You’ll never know what your employees want or need if you don’t ask.
  • Remember the issues YOU would prefer to change about your workplace.
