Workplace environment is changing in some good ways. That was my impression after reading "Why millennials don't want to work for you" at Forbes.
Millennials (age 18-34) are of course a growing percentage of the work force. What they're looking for is :
* entrepreneurial culture -. the freedom to "work when, where and how you like as long as you are delivering results . . the flexibility and freedom – where possible – to be [your] own boss with a focus exclusively on results."
* team collaboration - "When I think of effective teams and the concept of true collaboration for a common purpose, there is no better example than a medical trauma ward. On such a team, competition, silos and politics are dangerous. Everyone must be unified and focused on a single outcome to achieve success."
These points would have improved the jobs I've had. Two more tomorrow.
(cont'd tomorrow)
