The United States is home to more than 77 million Millennials – the generation between the ages of 18 and 35- of which an estimated, nearly half of them have already joined the workforce.
Every single year, thousands of survey results and employee comments are published, identifying work cultures that are a perfect fit for these young professionals. But, before we get to that, let’s first ask – what do Millennials want?
Millennials want a casual atmosphere: The youngest workforce tend to be worked up by formalities such as job titles and business suits. In fact, MTV’s No Collar Workers survey noted that millennials want a workplace where they can be themselves.
Millennials want result-oriented work: Recruiting firm Mom Corps noted that the youngest workforce were more inclined towards workplace flexibility as a key factor in choosing a job than the older ones. As a matter of fact, 18 to 34 year olds are willing to sacrifice nearly 14 percent of their salaries for such benefits. Millennials want employers to set specific deadlines and milestones, and let them decide how and when the work will get done.
Millennials want the latest technology: A recent survey by Accenture found that more than half of all U.S. Millennials say office technology is a key factor in choosing their future employer. The Gen Y workers want to join a company where they have access to the latest computers, smartphones, tablets and software.
Millennials also want access to social media: According to a 2011 Cisco survey, 56 percent of the youngest workforce won’t work for a company where social media is blocked.
