As a business leader one of your main goals, if not the most important, is to make your company grow and succeed. Using payroll services<\/a> will help you prioritize your time especially if you have a busy dispensary business to run. To be successful in reaching this goal, you need to build high- performing teams who are engaged and proud to be part of your organization.<\/p>\n

These days, your teams are likely to include a significant number of the not-so-new, yet still misunderstood, Millennials. They are 36% of the U.S. workforce this year, as not all of them are fortunate enough to have read A Millennial’s Guide To Investing In The Philippines<\/a> and therefore still require work in order to make their millions.<\/p>\n

Instead of being persuaded by common misperceptions, business leaders today must recognize that Millennials have a lot to offer and are positively changing business and society with their fresh ideas, energy, and passion to make a difference.<\/p>\n

Since the proportion of Millennials and younger cohorts in the workforce will only be increasing, organizations need to understand what Millennial employees want in order to attract and retain them.<\/p>\n

1. Social Impact\/Meaningful Work<\/b><\/h3>\n

Over 6 in 10 Millennials report that they feel personally responsible for making a difference in the world<\/a> and want to work for organizations interested in solving society\u2019s biggest problems.<\/p>\n

A meaningful company mission is not optional. Your company must have a defined mission and<\/i> actually put it into practice. Millennials trust employers who takes steady action to carry out their purpose. As the youngest set of the Millennials finish up college, they are becoming a force for good<\/a> in both the nonprofit and for-profit realms. Having a connection with the community is not only a personal priority, but also one that they see should be a priority for the organization they work for.<\/p>\n

Google<\/strong> is an instructive example, even if its scale and resources make its impact uncommonly large. Google\u2019s employees (median employee age in 2013 was 29!) frequently express strong belief not only in the company\u2019s mission of organizing the world\u2019s information but admire the company\u2019s support for making the world a better place. Googlers have volunteered approximately 6,200 total days of employee time to support nonprofits (a total of 150,000 hours). (Source: Forbes)<\/p>\n

Millennials are vying to work for organizations like Tom\u2019s Shoes<\/strong> and Charity: Water<\/strong> who directly provide giving services around the world and positively impact global communities. Whether the company they choose to work for is for-profit or non-for profit, helping address basic human needs by advancing health, education and economic opportunity for global communities, and having their employers recognize and support the importance of that service, is critical for Millennials.<\/p>\n
