Desperate time calls for desperate measures, but how much a company is willing to retain its workforce? The company needs to understand what ticks the positive and negative side of their employees, hence the millennials are always seen as outspoken, offensive at times and slouching against their workload…but that might not be the case here. Described as the generation born in the 1980s and 1990s, this Generation Y, the Millennial, has taken over the workforce especially in the translation industry.   A company is always looking for more input, more workforce with a better understanding of culture, tone etc. With an influx in industries, it has helped to boost morale as well as the employment rate of the country as well.

It does not mean they are against the head figures, but they need space to work and rather be more creative. Turns out, it makes this young generation quite competitive when they are not strolled around with a leash. However, they still need a strong moral leader who can guide them in the right direction. Loyalty and Ambition Company loyalty has a whole lot of different meaning to the modern generation. It is not only the environment they work for, but also they want to create better opportunities for themselves. Hence, it is sufficient to say that the loyalty lies in good salary packages with a growth spurt in careers. Millennials also expect promotions. They see themselves to be leading in the hierarchy in the first five years of their job. Their ambition to grow and learn is strong.

An autonomous manner might not be as healthy these days as it was in the past. Therefore, it is better to give them enough space to learn and work.
