Millennials are now the largest group of professionals in the workforce, and as their careers advance, millennial hiring managers will significantly impact once negative perceptions of job-hopping and balance and prioritize securing candidates who find a financial and cultural fit with the employer.
For a 20-something in the workforce, job-hopping is a norm — one LinkedIn survey indicates millennials do more job-hopping than any other generation, though it’s important to note that the study surveyed only members of LinkedIn. That number typically falls within three-five years. What’s interesting is that the Bureau of Labor Statistics states Baby Boomers did as much job-hopping in their respective 20s as millennials do these days — that’s a bit of a contradiction, isn’t it.
Looking through the years
The rules have changed, and they will keep improving. The days of the whole lifetime employment thing are overlong over. We left them back in the 80s with big hair metal bands and VHS tapes.
The Millennials want a different deal, and they are going to get it. If you are managing Millennials and want to complain and reminisce, that’s your right. If you're going to be solution-oriented, it’s time to turn the lens inward.
Millennials have infinitely more opportunities than previous generations entering the workplace. We are getting more mobile, more virtual and the playing field is levelling between large, established companies and upstarts (As an aside, the companies, always resistant to change and to play every card they have in their hand, are pushing back in all sorts of ways.
The Millennials’ expectations for an ideal working environment translate into the fundamentals of a better workplace for all of us. An organization that carefully trains all of its employees' sets clear goals and expectations, and provides regular feedback to ensure that individuals learn with each assignment is a model for success. That company is better positioned to compete in an increasingly competitive global market.
