By Lisa Graham, Xerox – More than one-in-three American labor force participants (35%) are Millennials, making them the largest generation in the U.S. labor force, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data. They’re quick to get a bad rap as the “job hopping” generation, with too many employers overlooking the benefits of this generation and its status quo-altering way of approaching work and the work-life balance. Here’s why you want them in your company.

Since 2016, many publications have been touting the headline grabbing statistics that states more than 20 million millennials have left a job over the past two years. While that initially gives the impression of today’s budding workforce as fickle or lacking in company loyalty, in fact it’s a reflection of their unwillingness to settle for anything less than their highest ideals for both themselves and the company they work for – not at all a bad thing to have in an employee.

It’s true that the latest generation to enter the workforce does have unique employment expectations – just as Generation X did when they pushed us into the computer age. Rather than scoff at a majority that the media has tried to paint as indulgent and overserved, savvy corporate recruiters and visionary small business owners are ignoring the hype and appreciating the infinite wealth of cutting-edge talent this demographic represents.
