Providing Leadership for Millennials

I often have witnessed great recruiting and initial energy/enthusiasm for new employees that are early in their career. Then a year or two pass, and they don’t have the support, mentorship or growth structure in place. . . and they leave. While this video generalizes a bit, it is right about one thing—it is the company’s, the corporation’s responsibility to have a long-term growth plan for each hire they make. There’s tons of research-based engagement plans, structures and even consultants who can help! Mentorship outside their normal supervisor, special projects, affinity groups, increased learning, and networking can all pay off. Otherwise, we are not being true leaders to some of our more vulnerable workers–yes, I’m talking about the Millennials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNgQOHwsIbg
