All this week I’ve been covering the importance of flexible work arrangements. In the last post, I showed the connection between flexible work arrangements and retaining Millennials (Generation Y, those born between 1977 and 1995). These workers – eventually 80 million of them which is more than Baby Boomers - are now flowing into the workplace. They will eventually fill in for the very experienced workers retiring in the next decades.
How can you get the best of these for your project? One characteristic of these workers is that they are in some ways a tabula rasa. They ask a lot of questions which gives you the opportunity to teach them about your corporate culture. Your recruitment tactics should promote your commitment to provide highly-valued flexible work arrangements. Candidates will naturally infer that competing organizations may not value flexibility enough. As a blank slate, they will naturally gravitate to your organization and to your projects.
Yet another reason why your organization should commit to flexible work arrangements.
