Hence, let’s look at some of the approaches to engaging and retaining the talent of tomorrow. A lack of understanding of what employees really want is one reason why many employers might be struggling to attract talent. Many Generation Y workers, we are learning, are characterised by passion, a global perspective, entrepreneurialism, spontaneity, a social conscience, technological proficiency and so on. The second approach that I find crucial for engaging and retaining millennial talent is to coach them, not to control them. Therefore, it is no wonder that Gen Y talents prefer to be coached and mentored rather than strictly supervised.
