Understanding your talent could be the key to retaining employees. Harvard Business Review reveals that the “intangible things” employees want from employers can vary among age groups. For instance, millennials desire personal development, Gen Xers want friendly employers and baby boomers seek recognition. Gallup found that age, along with other factors such as education level and gender, can affect employee engagement and retention.
The effect of demographics is powerful, and HR leaders who tap into this knowledge will have a better understanding of where employees are coming from.
