One’s mental wellness within the workplace is very important BUT questions are often asked about the Millennials; dealing with them and their attitude generally within the workplace as well as how the current pandemic might have affected them and their work ethics.

Millennials get a bad rap in the workforce. These 20-somethings are often accused of being disrespectful, indifferent to authority, overly self-confident, needy and prone to job hopping!? To an extent, these might be true BUT many of these criticisms are exaggerated.

Some key lessons from our HR consultant -

1. Involvement: Try to involve them in whatever actions being carried out.

2. Openness is needed to address a harmonious work environment (from both parties to listen and act).

3. Balance the teams and give everyone an equal voice irrespective of age or position.

4. Let everyone feel comfortable to speak as well as understand that their opinions / suggestions are valid.

5. Give everyone the opportunity to implement whatever tasks they are given.

6. OPENNESS is key!
