The Millennials have all grown up, graduated from university, and started careers of their own. In fact, Millennials, a generation of people born between 1980 and mid-90s, are currently the largest generation in the workforce––comprising 35% of all employees. By 2030, that number will more than double to 75%.
Millennials have different expectations for their careers than their Gen X or Baby Boomer predecessors. They have different beliefs on how a workplace should function and use different values to determine what positions they might accept.
