What Young Workers Want

5 Expectations in the Digital Age

Making any big organization-wide change is challenging and bringing digital transformation to a company or institution is no exception. Knowing your employees helps when asking them to make changes, which is why understanding millennials and their expectations is critical.

Research from The Conference Board shows these five factors are high on the list for job seeking millennials:

1. Most of today’s workforce belongs to an aware, mobile, and highly connected generation, and expectations are high.
2. Prospective employees and incumbents want a consumer-grade experience.
3. People who work remotely want to easily stay connected to their organizations.
4. They want social collaboration in addition to working teams and affinity groups.
5. They want to do work the way they want to and where they want to.
