THE IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING
MILLENNIALS
 As the Baby Boomer generation retires, Millennials will dominate the workforce.
Misunderstanding the differences between generations can detrimentally affect employee
performance and satisfaction.
 Managers must learn more about their employees’ job satisfaction and organizational
commitment levels as new generations merge with older established ones. In order to attract
and retain a Millennial, it is essential for a manager or organization to understand what
motivates and satisfies the younger generation.
 Differences among the generations can create problems such as distrust among employees and
high turnover rates. These problems make it vital to understand Millennial’s values and
demands. It is also beneficial to understand generational differences due to the conflicts that
can arise.
 Due to the differences in values and expectations, conflict is common as Millennials enter the
workforce. They found that if these differences in values are not addressed or identified, an
organization can expect an increase in conflict.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE
• Due to the natural influx of the upcoming generation, it will become crucial for managers to
adapt
• their leadership style to the motivation needs of Millennials.
• The values identified in the literature can be used to develop recommended practice guidelines.
• Companies will benefit from the Millennials’ achievement focused mentality, as this generation
puts forth extra effort to help an organization succeed.
• Managers will need to also provide career enhancing opportunities; otherwise other companies
may scalp quality employees.
• Managers will also need to provide constant feedback or Millennials will interpret their work is
unsatisfactory.
• More empathy is desired from this newest generation. Millennials desire a caring
employer who
• wishes to build a more interpersonal relationship. Companies will need to be less
ambitious and more connected to the needs of their employees to avoid high turnover.
