Focus on today's needs every day....


“Today's game is always different from yesterday's game.” Red Smith

poll published yesterday by Deloitte found that 43% of millennials are planning to leave their jobs within two years, while only 28% are looking to stay beyond five years.  Truth be told, that’s probably what most young people from every generation felt in the past 50 years.  The poll went on to say it found that this group cares most about diversity, inclusion, and flexibility – again, how is that so different from the past. Maybe millennials aren’t so different.  People of every age look for workplace experiences that are challenging and rewarding: successful managers can achieve that by molding new employees into a culture of teamwork, trust, recognition and respect, and by understanding and considering employee needs and expectations. If you want new employees – of any generation – to stay with your team, treat them the way you want to be treated: tell them what’s up, listen to their suggestions, recognize their efforts, and celebrate what they do. Today may be different from yesterday, but people’s basic needs remain the same every day.
