Gallup estimates millennial turnover costs the U.S. economy $30.5 billion a year. But, is it really a millennial issue or simply a generational issue? And, regardless, as leaders, what we can do about it? How are companies &＃8220;bridging the gap&＃8221; in recruitment, employee engagement, and community engagement? These were issues vetted to a standing room only audience at the Charles F. Knight Executive Education Center for the kick-off the of 2017 Leadership Perspectives series. The forum was moderated by Yemi Akande-Bartsch, Ph.D., president & CEO of FOCUS St. Louis, and panelists included David Karandish, co-founder and chairman, Equity.com; Ann Marr, vice president, Global Human Resources, World Wide Technology, Inc.; Mike Koehler vice president, Human Resources, Express Scripts; and Billie Bright, corporate consultant with Dale Carnegie Training. &＃8220;It&＃8217;s not just the millennial mindset, it&＃8217;s generational,&＃8221; shared Koehler.&＃160; &＃8220;Each generation has its share of young go-getters who are high achievers. What&＃8217;s slightly different about this group of go-getters is the access to senior leadership they want, so creating internal forums where senior leaders are present and accessible has provided that opportunity.&＃8221; Billie Bright and Ann Marr concurred. And, Marr noted creating internal groups led by senior leaders has proven successful for World Wide Technology. &＃8220;I chair the women&＃8217;s group and through the outreach efforts, we&＃8217;ve seen several women promoted to senior positions. The internal networks provide access to senior leaders and the opportunity to share across the business,&＃8221; she shared. Companies, too, are looking to urban areas to recruit and in some cases opening satellite offices. With technology today, working remotely is easier to more acceptable. David Karandish, a millennial himself, shared millennials want to feel connected, they want meaning. At Answers.com the company he co-founded and successfully sold, millennials were not employees, but team members. &＃8220;The feeling of belonging, of being part of something is important,&＃8221; he noted. Now, he&＃8217;s doing it again with Equity.com. Join Olin&＃8217;s Executive MBA program on April 4 for a discussion on the myths and realities of Managing Millennials, with a focus on practical principles for bridging generational divides.
