What Makes The Millennial Generation Run?
This is definitely a very good post and well deserves many
re blogs. Very thought provoking and very well though
out. Hope a lot of folks read, re read and read all the
comments. It will get us all thinking.
"A there are those of us who are not by virtue of birth date in this category who have the same values as today’s millennial group. Spare 
time to enjoy one’s life is definitely a high priority for many of us."
You are spot on about that statement folks. There is a general MESHING of generations because of the cyber World we live in today and we're perfect examples of it.
Everyone in our family from my 2 year old Grandson to my 93 year old mother have embraced an electronic friend of some sort.
There are those that won't have anything to do with it all be they certainly a minority. But there are those (closer to a majority) that partially if not totally thrown themselves into the frey.
We have to be aware of this for sure for any of our future business plans be it hiring and acquireing good long term and reliable talent Or when determining and identifying our target markets.
Long-term planning is important to include in one’s business plan if you are want to be the market leader in your luxury real estate practice/company. It means understanding the new agents you hire, as well as those you will be selling homes to. It also means knowing how important spare time as it to the millenial generation.
Next year, 80% of the work force will be comprised of millennials. Ten to fifteen years from today, the biggest spending group in the world will be those individuals who were born between 1980 and 1995.
What is notable about this generation is that in the professional service section, (accountant, actuary, architect, dentist, doctor, engineer, lawyer, management consultant, and pharmacist for example) a significant number of the millennial set have entered and left this type of career path after a short stint. They were unwilling to sacrifice their free time to work harder for the traditional lure to advance their career by becoming a partner, or making more money.
What is this sector of our population looking for?
A work culture that promotes and emphasizes work/life balance
Geographical convenience (work closer to home without a lengthy commute)
Technology in the workplace, focused on promoting flexibility and efficiency, such as having access to the best tools for collaboration and execution.
Having a policy of transparency regarding compensation, rewards and career decisions.
A working environment that feels like a community and emphasizes teamwork, appreciation, and support.
Even though this characterizes a large segment of the millennial generation, no one size fits all. There are those in this generation, who do not fit these values.
A there are those of us who are not by virtue of birth date in this category who have the same values as today’s millennial group. Spare time to enjoy one’s life is definitely a high priority for many of us.
