sonal missions and goals. They seek organizations where they can
make the biggest difference with their chosen passion. More than
three-fourths (77%) of millennials said part of the reason they chose to
work where they do is because of the company's sense of purpose,
according to a Deloitte survey.
They Constantly Seek More Money
Myth: Millennials are never satisfied, always asking about their
next promotion and what they have to do to ensure they get it.
Reality: Millennials are more concerned with growth and develop-
ment and an exciting job than salary. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of them
said they'd rather make $40,000 at a job they love than $100,000 at a
job that's boring, according to an Intelligence Group survey. They'd
also prefer to have more frequent feedback to avoid surprises on their
performance evaluations.
Embrace awesomeness
As of 2015, millennials represent more than 50% of the U.S. work-
force. They truly are America's largest generation. They want their
work to provide value and meaning, and they want to make a differ-
ence. They just need your feedback, support and patience to make it
happen.
