Millennials & Gen Z Employees: Find out why they could be your biggest asset, and how they can give your business a competitive edge?

Based on a 2019 Deloitte Report Millennials and Gen Z are no longer the ‘future’ workforce, they are the present, making up more than 40 percent of Australia’s working population.

The days of Command and Control leadership are over, Younger Generations of employees do not respect titles, you have to earn their respect, and they expect collaboration and involvement in decision making as a day to day practice.

So how do you maintain control and give direction, and gain respect for your authority as a business owner or manager and tick these boxes as well?

Whilst our Gen Z and Millennials are often well-educated people, there’s a lot of negative press about Millennials as difficult employees. However, there is very little practical information available to business owners and managers of growing companies that can assist them in getting the best out of their Millennial workforce.

Some companies are even avoiding hiring Millennials because it is “too Hard”.

Younger generations of workers value different things. Work differently and expect different outcomes from their careers and work environments. Different isn’t bad or better – different can be a huge advantage to your businesses growth strategy if you learn how to harness its power.
