5 Ways on How to Engage Millennials at Work

With millennials set to comprise 75% of the global workforce by 2025, if they aren’t engaged, what does this mean for the future of your organization?
Recent research shows a real opportunity for businesses to increase engagement among their millennial workforce.
Job-hopping isn’t a given… Perhaps surprisingly, 62% of millennials say they prefer to avoid changing jobs frequently.
But millennials need to feel connected to their work. Gallup found that 55% of millennials are “not engaged,” meaning they “feel unattached to their existing role or company.” Not only that: 16% of millennials are “actively disengaged.” Only 29% of millennials say they feel engaged at work.
They want to learn. Millennials want the chance to learn at work: 87% say professional development is important in a job.
Having opportunities to learn at work is the most important factor for 59% of millennials who are applying for a job. That’s compared to 44% of Gen Xers and 41% of Boomers.
Other important factors. What else matters to millennials when it comes to their jobs?
Try these ways to increase engagement and you’ll not only increase satisfaction and retention among millennial employees — your organization will realize other benefits too.
