Last year made it possible for people in general to question their Employers and their stated mission and values and how it affects their employees day-to-day. We all had time to evaluate and reevaluate what we were/are doing with our personal and work lives. I know many people who are truly reinventing themselves. Hopefully, many corporations can follow suit.
Millennials are all in on transparency, and companies need to follow suit
Christian Wylonis, of BenefitPro, wrote in his May 26, 2021 article “In 2021, millennials want more than promises; they want to see action. When it comes to interacting with companies, millennials are demanding transparency. Having come of age through a recession, volatile markets, a rising cost of living, the student debt crisis, and increasing impact of technology, millennials are more distrusting consumers and are conscious of where and how they spend their time and money.”
“Only 22% of millennials said they didn’t know or understand their company’s strategy for success and what their role is in it, and only 23% said they didn’t know their place of work’s values. Meanwhile, more than 50% of millennials said they had visibility into their company’s numbers.”
