Understanding What To Expect First:
Engaging Millennials From Date Of Hire:
Top Three To Engage Millennials:
- Flexibility And Benefits Related To The Family: You may be saying you already provide this. However, it requires you to look at what those terms mean to a millennial versus a non-millennial. Do you provide a benefit for child care? Or, maybe it’s a child care stipend to those with multiple children? Millennials want employers to support them in their role as parents. This is a different way of viewing benefits. Does the flexibility you provide give the employee the chance to be the family unit they desire? Remember that 40 years ago when fathers weren’t taking paternity leave and moms were still predominantly at home raising children? The millennials recognize the need to be present in the work place and be part of two income households, but don’t want to miss things in their own lives along the way.
- Mentoring/ Training: Is your training program for staff the same regardless of the generation? This has to change. The way each generation learns and the definition of mentoring for each is different. Mentoring doesn’t necessarily mean that it is only the millennials that learn from older generations. It means the millennial wants to be useful in ways they excel. Your millennials can be a huge help with technology and organizational change. These individuals are great for consideration in leadership roles working towards bigger goals. This energizes the millennial to assist with advancement of your agency.
- Meaningful Work: This concept piggybacks a little on the last bullet point. Once you have recognized the value of the employee in mentoring and being mentored, then you work towards the goals of advancement within the agency and with organizational goals. When employees see the vision and goals are aligned for both, then buy-in can be universal regardless the generation. This allows the millennial employee to work towards something more than just the weekend. Millennials can play such a valuable role in the recruitment and retention of other employees when you foster these kinds of concepts.
