America’s millennial generation consists of 80 million people, larger than any other generation, and by 2025 millennials will make up 75 percent of the global workforce. This generation has grown up in complex, turbulent times, and as a result it has learned how to collaborate to solve problems under fluid conditions. They have been online their entire lives and know how to integrate emerging technologies into the construction industry better than any previous generation.
So what are you doing in your business to capitalize on the millennial generation and the assets they offer?
Sundt Business Development Manager Ryan Abbott suggests some answers to this important question in his presentation, Millennials Shaping Our Collective Future. Ryan made the presentation in collaboration with two industry associates, John Cryrier of Saber Commercial and Lawrence Fabbroni of Fabbroni Associates, at the Associated General Contractors of America’s (AGC) Building Contractors Conference in Austin, Texas earlier this month.
The trio explored topics such as how the values and priorities of millennials and previous generations differ, contrasts in their managerial and working styles, how millennials approach corporate hierarchies and issues of work-life balance, how to relate to their passions, what success and leadership means to millennials, and more.
If you’re not conversant in this issue already, you’re probably overlooking the many ways you could be incorporating the millennial advantage into your business. Take a look at a pdf of the presentation by clicking here.
