Retaining Young Workers – How do we successfully retain young professionals?

0

For many employers, this is turning into the billion-dollar question. Young professionals and entering the workforce with a more contractually-oriented attitude than previous generations. This means that they are seeking an employment relationship that is mutually rewarding from the get-go. They expect to be training, developed and rewarded immediately. Unfortunately, many organizations do not live up to these expectations out of unwillingness, inability, or both. These individuals are also more impatient than previous generations to see career results. When they don’t, they begin to look for better options. The three big keys to retaining young professionals are: 1) Hiring the right ones in the first place. The best and the brightest, for example may not be the right ones for your organization, especially if they will be placed a job where growth and development takes considerable time. 2) Setting clear expectations during the selection process and reinforcing them on the first day.
