Leadership and Development-Managing Millennials

One very important factor in maintaining a good relationship between management and the labor force is to maintain managers and leaders in an organization trained and informed in regards to new trends in the labor force. This will enable them to understand the needs of present and future generations as well as to identify the individual strengths of any prospective in the labor market, making their job easier and more efficient. A generation that has caught many peoples’ attention is the case of the new generation “The Millennials” as shown in the following video: 


The Millennials, the next generation, they are coming…are you ready for them? According to this video due to the fact that millions of Baby Boomers will be retiring in the close future it has never been more important to attract, mentor, train, and retain young employees as it is today. The Millennials are not only important because of how they view the world but also because they are huge in numbers and likely will replace the existing workforce in the not distant future. 
"Businesses are struggling to keep pace with a new generation of young people entering the workforce, who have starkly different attitudes and desires than employees over the past few decades." - USA Today
