The millennial generation is also known as Y Generation is tech-savvy and has family meetings and safety laws. In addition to this, this generation values connections and wants to be a part of a community at home, work, and play. Lastly, they have the confidence to articulate their vision and the tech skills to create their vision.

1. The Ultimate Guide to Recruiting
and Retaining Millennials
Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
There are currently 80 million Millennials in the
United States, and soon they will make up the
majority of the employee population. Why? For
one, Baby Boomers, which make up 40 percent of
today’s U.S. workforce, will be leaving the
workforce in the next decade. Secondly, this year
the Millennial generation ﴾born between 1981‐2001﴿
is projected to surpass the Baby Boomer
generation as the nation’s largest living generation.
That said, it’s crucial for your organization to know
how to recruit and retain Millennials.

2. on this very topic called, The Ultimate Guide to
Recruiting and Retaining Millennials. Not only is it
chock‐full of helpful insights and information, it’s
also engaging and well written. I am proud to say
that I am quoted in the guide.
The Ultimate Guide to Recruiting and Retaining
Millennials* covers topics such as creating a
transparent culture, embracing social responsibility,
living your company values, supporting career
development, creating an effective onboarding
plan, and more. I am quoted in chapter 15, which
talks about opening a virtual suggestion box.
Opening Up a Virtual
Suggestion Box
The good news is, our days of traditional ﴾awkward﴿
suggestion boxes have come to an end. Technology
has come to the rescue with simple online surveys
and web platforms that offer more anonymity to
employees who would like to share their ideas and
solutions. That is what a virtual suggestion box is.
This is a great idea for the Millennial generation,
also known as Generation Y. Why? Because it is very
important to them to have a voice in their
community, and community is a core element in
the lives of this generation.

3. Also, Gen Y was born with a mouse in its hand.
Consequently, they are tech‐savvy and expect
information to be “downloaded” immediately,
including their ideas and suggestions.
They were the first generation to have family
meetings and safety laws enforced with bike
helmets, car seats, and seat belt laws. The message
from this was “You are special. We value you.”
Consequently, this generation values connections
and wants to be part of a community at home,
work, and play. They will work with their friends at
the same company if they feel it’ll allow them more
time with their community. Having a voice in their
community is important to Gen Y. They have the
confidence to articulate their vision and the tech
skills to create their vision. Now they need you to
support them in listening to their vision.
If only we could jump 50 years ahead– just for a
day– to see how this generation will have
transformed the workplace. Preparing your
organization to successfully recruit and retain the
Millennial generation is not only imperative, it’s
exciting.
Let’s have a little fun. Pretend you have a virtual
suggestion box where you can leave an idea or
suggestion for every organization in the country.
