Connecting with Millennials
Millennials are the generational demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years.
Millennials are sometimes referred to as "echo boomers" due to a major surge in birth rates in the 1980s and 1990s, and because millennials are often the children of the baby boomers.
Now it gets interesting. The oldest of the millennials are starting to move into management and leadership roles – managing other millennials. So, how do we Recruit and Retain?
