Looking to make your workplace a better fit for millennials? Millennials are now the majority of the workforce and research shows that millennials are also a major driving force behind workplace change. Here are a few tips for making your workplace millennial-friendly.
Incorporate Technology
Millennials are in love with technology. Find ways to incorporate tech into your workforce. Go digital and discard the paperwork. You can also use technology to collaborate on various projects, whether in the office or remotely. You can create private groups on social media, such as Facebook or LinkedIn groups, for your workers to connect even when not at work.
Offer Flexibility
Millennials don’t like sitting in a cubicle eight hours a day. Offer flexibility, such as lounges or sofas where they can work on their laptops. You can even give them an opportunity to work remotely at times.
Offer a Workout Area
Offer your employees the opportunity to work out. You don’t need a full gym. A treadmill, a chin-up bar, and a few weights may be enough. You can also get standing desks and treadmill desks for your workers.
Offer a Snack and Drink Bar
Millennials love a fridge full of cold drinks. Offer soft drinks and perhaps even beer. Offer various healthy snacks such as fruits and health bars. Let them understand that you trust them to use the snack bar to improve their performance.
Go Green
Millennials care about the environment. Make your office a green office. Do this by making the building, office products and business practices environmentally friendly.
While the workplace itself is not the only thing that will keep millennials happy, it is a start. For help with finding a workplace millennial friendly and everyone else, contact us today!
