Network for Good Finds Charity Is Key to Engaging Millennial Employees [REPORT]
Washington, DC (PRWEB) January 29, 2014 -- Today, http://www..networkforgood.org/for-companies?utm_source=PRWeb&utm_medium=Press_Release&utm_content=link&utm_campaign=Millennial_eGuide [Network for Good __title__ ] releases a new guide, “Engaging Millennial Employees: Recruit and Retain Top Talent with Cause,” that debunks myths on the generation and provides the secrets to engaging this workforce.
This guide, sponsored by Quantum Workplace, also demonstrates ways companies can capitalize on Millennials’ traits to enhance the bottom line.
"As Millennials become an increasing percentage of a company's workforce it's important to understand how to attract and retain them," said Bill Strathmann, CEO of Network for Good."The good news is that corporate social responsibility can help. We're thrilled to provide companies with tools to better navigate this interdependence between CSR and engaging Gen Y talent."
The new guide, authored by Allison McGuire, synthesizes research, illustrates the current workplace landscape, and recommends new ways to foster employee engagement.
Key takeaways:
• There are three key features to retaining a Millennial workforce: creating an engaging workplace, giving employees purposeful work, and establishing a corporate culture that enables philanthropy.
• Retaining Millennial employees is serious business. The cost of turnover is an average $24,000 per employee, and this generation is notorious for job hopping. Rewarding all-star employees with charity gives an incentive to do top-notch work; plus, they'll feel good about your company supporting their favorite causes.
• Millennials are changing the dialogue around responsible business practices. They support companies that develop and execute robust corporate social responsibility strategies, but they can also identify when they’re just empty PR stunts. This generation wants to work for organizations they believe in—a job isn’t just a job anymore.
