rtunities are going to slowly gain traction .
businesses should look to implement anytime and anywhere education through online classes . As an extension , businesses should look to capitalise on the new phenomenon of ‘ Just-In-Time ’ and ‘ Targeted Learning ’ whereby employees are given access to services that allow them to learn specific skills in just a few minutes . At companies with mainly knowledge workers , the engagement levels are over 70 % and as such , the goals of millennials will be more easily achieved in a knowledge-working environment . Learning what you need , when you need it is the new rule .
Passion fit for your workers is also essential , with people doing their best work when they ’ re doing things they are passionate about . For instance , the Google X group allows people to work on what they are passionate about even if leadership thinks it will go nowhere . They do this to overcome cognitive biases as more often than not , the sum of leadership biases kill great ideas before they get started . The bottom line here is tap into the passions of your staff .
