Technology Infused
Millennials would make up 75% of the
workforce by 2025.
This gadget friendly generation welcomes
new technology that is not only “cool” but
also useful.
Being connected is of utmost priority to
them.
Innovative at work.
Obsessed with easy to use technology.
Testing with Millennials
Testing with Millennials
• Millennials encourage automation due to reduction in post-
prod incidents
• Less time consuming
• Intelligent decisions by mitigating risks
• Strategic automation use cases
• Reviews and Insights increase quality
• Man vs Machine
I do find that quite ironic when folks have very strong
viewpoints of this generation when they not only don’t
come from it but clearly are not very close to it.
Jeff Carr
CEO & President - Peoplefluent
Myths about Millennials
Millennial Myths
Millennials read more and write
less
They work with “Move fast break
things” concept
They do not spend all their time on
smartphones.
Lazy Hard to Manage Unmotivated

Working with Millennials
Working with millennials could
involve collaboration and an open
mindset to new ideas.

Working with Millennials
Get used to this.
Millennials encourage being flexible. Many
of them tend to work late. They would be
comfortable working 6pm to 2am rather than
9am to 5pm.
Working with Millennials
Rethink
the word
“Manage”
Millennials have been managed their entire life.
They crave opportunities to make their own
decisions instead of having it made for them.
Millennials are looking for leaders. Talk to them
face to face. Involve millennials in the
brainstorming sessions. Set productive
expectations for them. Let them work it to the end
without micromanaging.

We’re here to put a dent in
the universe. Otherwise,
why else even be here?
