You’ve seen the headlines. Millennials are “entitled” at work. We’re the “Me Me Me Generation,” and, apparently, we want “success on a plate.” But, maybe it’s time for employers to take a cold, hard look in the mirror and ask themselves this: Are you as receptive as you could be to the skills and ideas that millennials are bringing to the table?
Given that 35 percent of the workforce will consist of millennials by 2020—and a further 24 percent will be Gen Z workers—it’s time to start ditching the negative epithets, and start embracing this generation’s assets at work. Read more…
