This
tool provides a brief background discussion related to the challenges and
opportunities in the recruitment and retention of employees, in particular
those of the Millennial (born between 1981 and 1996) and Generation Z (born
between 1996 and 2012) generations.
These generations are quickly becoming the majority in the work force
and understanding their values and goals related to their professional life and
satisfaction will be critical for all engineering firms now and even more so in
the future. The benefits that these generations value most may be significantly
different than those of previous generations.
This will require firms to adapt and change in order to be successful.
