How to Attract Millennials to Your Organization

How to Attract Millennials to Your Organization

Whether your business is based in New York or Buenos Aires, you need the right people working for you. The problem is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to hang on to talent in the workplace. Research carried out by major employers has indicated that millennials don’t stick around if they are not 100% happy in their job. Instead, they stay for approximately two years and then jump ship in search of more money and better perks. How can you as an employer prevent this from affecting your organization’s growth?
Young people are often in a lot of debt by the time they graduate from a masters in nursing online program from the University of Arizona, even though online study is cheaper than traditional avenues of education. Graduates recognize the fact that need a good job to be able to pay off their student loans, but at the same time, tempted by the lure of big name employers such as Google and PWC, they don’t want their career path to be hindered by a stint in a lesser organization.
Millennials are the largest section of the modern workforce, but they are not evenly distributed. Established companies are often at a disadvantage when pitted against cool new tech startups. Government departments and businesses operating in less attractive niches really struggle to attract and keep talented millennials, which is making them less competitive. So what’s the answer?
Offer Training Resources
Millennials are very career focused. They prize growth and development above material wealth, so you can’t afford to take on a talented millennial and then not offer them plenty of opportunities for career progression and skills growth. There are lots of ways to do this. You could offer employees time off to pursue further education such as a MSN online, or you could provide regular training sessions in the workplace. Both approaches have been shown to be effective.

As we have recently started discovering local FinTech ecosystems, it became clear that mobile has made a significant impact across industries and that FinTech companies looking to enter the market should think mobile-first.

There is another important hallmark of the market in Latin America that opens endless opportunities for newcomers.

Hence, it is an especially hot market for mobile-focused challenger banks to make an impact on the lives of a vast majority of the population. Mobile can become a gateway to the large market of the underbanked. It’s become such a powerful tool that it has changed the behavioral patterns across industries and has a great potential to become a primary channel for all kinds of interaction.
