“Future Workforce: Millennials in a Global Context”

 

 

 

Information about generational differences in America abounds, but today’s talent marketplace is global. As our workforce ages, U.S. and multinational companies alike will be faced with the challenge of recruiting and retaining younger employees with very different attitudes toward work and life. Understanding how American Millennials (born 1981-2000) compare with their international peers will have a profound impact on the way employers plan for and manage their talent in the next decade. For example:

  • Entrepreneurialism: American youth rank below Chinese, Russian, Polish, Estonian, Indian, Spanish, Swedish and Taiwanese youth in their interest in starting a company in the next 15 years.
  • Job Security: Employment security is among the 3 highest career priorities for young Americans and Europeans, but not for young Russians, Chinese and Indians, who place a higher value on good career opportunities.
  • Career Orientation: Childcare, healthcare, and education are among the 4 most popular industries for Millennials in the U.S. - Nowhere else except in France is this the case.
  • Willingness to Work Abroad: 21% of American youth state that they would like to live abroad for a period of time, compared with 53% of Chinese, 44% of Indians and 32% of Swedes.

Based on exclusive research from Kairos Future, an international think tank on emerging workforce trends around the world, this 1 hour webinar will present critical findings about American Millennials in a global context and offer workforce planning and talent management strategies to create a competitive and sustainable advantage for the future.
