In my dealings with business owners and the professionals that work with them, I frequently hear of their difficulties in retaining staff. This often is directed at their employees who are millennials.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Millennials want to work from home, they want flex time, they don\u2019t want to work overtime, I\u2019m told.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In a recent lunch with an entrepreneurial millennial, Jason Hershkowitz, the CEO of Beyond the Staff*, I heard a very different, and informative, perspective.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jason says these \u201ccomplaints\u201d are all true but are really to the benefit of the business.\u00a0 Millennials crave challenge and accountability. They seek employers who will test their abilities by assigning to them responsibilities beyond what their age and resume may tell the employer they can handle.\u00a0 They want mentoring from their employer when needed, not a boss who looks over their shoulder and directs their every move.<\/span><\/p>\n

In return, the millennial will do his\/her best to deliver.\u00a0 They will seek input when stumped. Millennials don\u2019t see the need for a 9 to 5 presence at the office.\u00a0 Their belief is \u201cIf I can get the job done effectively and timely, it doesn\u2019t matter where, when or how I work.\u201d\u00a0 It struck me that this is the attitude of the typical entrepreneur. Shouldn\u2019t we employ people like us? The ongoing success of our businesses when we move on depends on it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our generation was trained to work at the office. Is that the best and only answer?\u00a0 In starting your business or professional practice, didn\u2019t you fit in work hours whenever and wherever you could?\u00a0 Yet, we expect our employees to work as if they are employed by a large corporation where punching the timeclock is more important than getting the job done.<\/span><\/p>\n

Millennials don\u2019t measure their worth by the hours they put in.\u00a0 If they accomplish their responsibilities in 30 hours, the shortfall from the 40-hour standard week is theirs to spend as they like.\u00a0 Overtime is not an issue though they want to control the location and timeframe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Millennials treasure their personal time, whether it is time spent with family, friends or on solo ventures.\u00a0 They need the flexibility to take time off for these events, whether it\u2019s going to a kid\u2019s soccer game after school or doing charity work at 10:30 am on a Tuesday.\u00a0 Ironically, I often hear business owners and professionals lament they didn\u2019t invest the time in these activities when their families (and they themselves) were younger.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most importantly, who raised this millennial generation with this attitude so different from ours?\u00a0 WE DID!<\/span><\/p>\n

For other perspectives on this topics check out\u00a0<\/span>Forbes<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 Wow, what a pessimistic but informative article!\u00a0 It reinforces the idea put forth in my article that we, as employers and business owners, need to look at Millennials in a different light.\u00a0 We must remember though that generalizations that surveys and insights reveal are just that, they are not a roadmap for treating any individual.<\/p>\n
