The Millennials' rose-colored pay expectations and beliefs about what they are worth. New generations entering the job market have always caused disruption for coworkers and created challenges for managers from previous generations. The Millennials now entering the job market are no different. They share the tendency (and the freedom) of previous younger workers to change jobs more frequently, champion new technology and challenge the status quo. But there are cultural differences unique to this generation that demand new management approaches. Alec Levenson's research of over 40,000 employees, comparing Millennials to Generation X, shows significant differences in their needs for flexibility, team cohesion, and supervisor support and appreciation. How do you maximize your Millennials' contributions, channel their energies and maintain their focus? Dr. Levenson provides insights critical for the recruitment, compensation and retention of both Gen X and Millennial employees.
