Managing Millennials & Multi-Generations

Download PDF Version

Overview

By 2025, millennials will represent seventy-five percent of the workforce and will be the largest generational cohort on the planet (The Deloitte Millennial Survey 2019: Findings from Ireland).  Furthermore, research suggests that there is a significant generational disconnect between millennials and their older colleagues in the workplace.

While this creates challenges for managers of millennials, it also has the potential to cause retention issues for organisations and businesses.

This programme outlines the needs of millennials and explores approaches which managers and organisations can take to improve engagement with millennial workers.
