Top Employers for Millennials
Posted by at 11:37 AM

Business Week published a story on Sunday about undergrads' top choices for employers. Although most of our companies do not appear on the lists compiled by Universum Communication, there are some compelling takeaways about millennial psychology. Most of the companies listed have programs in place that appeal to millennials, and can be replicated by smaller companies.

• Millennials' love of working in groups was maximized by PriceWaterHouseCoopers in their "10 day boot camp".

• Flexibility, a millennial staple, was cited by entry-level employees in a number of the top companies, including Google and Disney.

• Corporate social values, social justice and social responsibility were mentioned frequently by the generation that grew up doing community service.

Employers: millennials are here and they are using their culture and values to 'vote' for employers by accepting employment. The opportunity to adjust corporate branding and culture is now. Companies who fail to understand how to attract and retain millennials will see a dramatic negative impact as the boomers retire and this new generation enters the workplace---and decides to work for some other company.
