Where there are unmotivated Millennial employees you will find uninspired leaders who lead teams of anxious, job-hop-in-a-heartbeat Millennials. For the leaders eager to spark change and energy into their organizations there are specific Millennial motivators that can be leveraged to ignite Millennial hustle and extend Millennial retention.
1) Innovation
78% of Millennials were strongly influenced by how innovative a company was when deciding if they wanted to work there. (The 2014 Millennial Study)
66% of Millennials work in organizations that actively encourage/reward its people for innovative ideas. (Deloitte)
Millennials want to change the world and they believe innovation is the catalyst. They will lean into their high-tech and hyper-connected upbringing to find answers to today's complex problems. Innovation matters to Millennials...big time.
Example: LinkedIn has their own internal incubator where employees are encouraged to innovate. Once a quarter, employees can come up with a new idea, put a team together, and pitch their idea to the executive team. If their idea is approved, they are able to spend up to 3 months time dedicated to turning the idea into something that benefits the company.
2) Flexibility
73% of Millennials expect to be able to modify and customize their work computer; 63% will go around IT to find the solutions they need. (Mobile Enterprise)
69% of Millennials believe office attendance is unnecessary on a regular basis. (Cisco)
