One of the major factors influencing the way millennials work, play and live is the fact that they have grown up in an age where everything is instant and online. “Their affinity towards technology, flexibility on how and where they work, search for purpose and work-life balance, means employers must have a fresh perspective for attracting them," says Abhijeet Mukherjee, CEO of employment website Monster.com (APAC and Gulf).The Deloitte Millennial Survey 2018 found that attracting and retaining millennials and Gen Z respondents begins with financial rewards and workplace culture; itis enhanced when businesses and their senior management teams are in diverse roles, and when the workplace offers higher degrees of flexibility. “Given that millennials are now present across businesses, how talent is being acquired has been impacted in the last few years," says Mukherjee. The people who have been bringing them to the workforce—the recruiters—have been reinventing their game plans.
