For the first time in history, there are four generations in the workplace at the same time. And while you may be familiar with their different names – Traditionalists, Baby Boomers Generation X and Millennials – you may not understand just how different they really are or how the workforce is evolving in response to the preferences of the younger demographic.
Millennials are now the most dominant generation in the workforce. They are less motivated by remuneration and more by personal freedoms such as a flexible work environment or flexible schedule.
When seeking rewards outside of wages, having a solid benefits program is crucial to securing key talent. Organizations that use benefits as a strategic employment tool reported better overall company performance and above-average effectiveness in recruitment and retention compared with organizations that did not.
However, a “one size fits all” approach no longer appeals to younger workers who are expecting customization and personalization of benefits assembled according to their own tastes and needs.
The customization concept also appeals to Generation Z, which will account for one-third of the U.S. population by 2020. Generation Z expects businesses, brands and employers to be responsive to them. If they don’t feel appreciated, they move on.
