American authors William Strauss and Neil Howe are widely credited for coining the term ‘Millennials’ in their 1991 book Generations. The term, which describes the generation of Americans born roughly between 1980 and 2000, has since been popularised on a global scale. Within a year from now the Millennials will make up 50 percent of the UK’s workforce. In terms of retention, it’s a worrying statistic when you consider that Millennials are the most likely of all generations to say they will leave their company in the next 12 months if and when the job market improves.

4. Provide professional development
opportunities
A perceived lack of development opportunities is a major contributor for the

non-Millennial colleagues and pay close attention to whether perspective
employers offer this type of opportunity.

Studies have also revealed the Millennial generation to be the least engaged
generational group, but creating a shared sense of purpose unifies the
workforce and gives meaning to each employee, in turn boosting employee
engagement.

6. Give constant feedback
This is a critical ingredient in millennial job performance and satisfaction.
Occasional performance appraisals might have been enough for the baby

expectations, is hungry for praise.

Today’s technology-saturated world might be daunting to past

is before deciding where to work.
