Millennials have been burdened with a reputation as spoiled, lazy, and entitled, but the reality behind the stereotype is far richer and more complex. Who are Millennials and what do they really want?

Based on fieldwork and survey data from global research on more than 25,000 Millennials and 29,000 older workers in 22 countries, this book paints a comprehensive, scientifically accurate picture of what really motivates Millennials around the world. Learn how to get the most from Millennials by:

• Improving workplace flexibility―because Millennials don’t separate life and work
• Providing adequate support and feedback―because Millennials like to learn and grow
• Coaching, not micromanaging―because Millennials value autonomy
• Designing competitive salary structures―because Millennials know what’s up
• Providing opportunities to contribute to society―because Millennials care about doing good
