Considering our recent topic “People, Culture&Teams”, I came across a topic which has a close connection with my generation — The Millennial. In the original article, the writer points out the pros and cons of the millennial generation. The millennial is quiet different from the baby boomer generation. They are the generation of innovations. They are good to thinking in different ways and quickly adapt into the new ways. On the other hand, they are also accused with the term “lazy, self-centered, demanding”. They are willing to relocate their workplace within two or three years. They sometimes complain about their current situation but pay little effort on their jobs.

Personally, I saw two sides of the relationship between the millennial and the company. First of all, It helps the company making progress by benefit from the contributions of their creative ideas. They push the company get in advance of the social development so that the company can make more profit and obsolete the old model. Secondly, since the millennial are easily to quit and relocate their jobs, companies need a good strategy to keep them stay as well as the older employees. Both of them are important to companies. It would be a heavy task for HR to find the balance point between the millennial and the baby boomers.

I would like to end with a meaningful sentence in the article “One thing is clear, the Millennials will soon be in control of careers and the workplace, so get ready for change.”
