6 Ways to Build a Learning Organization Through Leveraging Millennials (Part 2)

In this post we will discuss another three ways in which Millennials will help your company transform to a Learning Organization.
This characteristic of critical self-reflection can be beneficial to the organization as a whole. In the current business environment, where change is the only constant, being able to analyze and adjust to the situation is a critical success factor. Developing a culture of continual feedback will surely help develop your people, personally and professionally, as well as enable your organization to better execute their corporate decisions. It might also be good to invite your employees to take a serious look at the organization, analyze what is lacking, and generate ideas about what needs to be done.
While the Millennial approach of offering opinions can be seen as overly confident, it does represent a bias towards action and can set in motion more thought and input from lower levels of your organization. This is a democratizing force that opens up more learning opportunities, and gives high-potential individuals a chance to distinguish themselves and come to the attention of company leaders.
This trend might seem like a threat to the stability of the company, but you could also view it as a normal adjustment to a dynamic, fast-changing business environment. As circumstances change, the people, skills, and experiences your workforce needs will also change. Thus, having higher turnover gives your organization the opportunity to bring in new talent into your organization. Naturally, it will require putting in place better processes, documentation, and onboarding practices for this turnover. But if you design your organization to handle turnover, this will result in a more robust organization, where knowledge is better shared. Also, since you know that Millennials are actively developing their skills for future jobs, you should offer wide and deep learning opportunities to keep them fully engaged and motivated during their tenure with your organization.
