Randall “Randy” Blum is a Dallas, Texas, professional who consults with companies in employee productivity and manager training. A particular focus for Randall Blum is on workplace design that meets the needs and expectations of millennial employees.
Millennials now make up a third of today’s workplaces in the United States. They see their work habits change dramatically with the remote working possibilities opened up by the pandemic. Armed with valuable skills and a full working career ahead, millennials demand schedules, a better work-life balance, and more expansive parental leave.
One central aspect of meeting these expectations for companies involves offering hybrid work arrangements. This need is reflected in an Axios survey finding that 85 percent of millennials consider remote work important. In another survey, 64 percent of millennials indicated that another would seek new employment if their employer demanded they work in-office full time.
Statistics reveal that one-fourth of millennials, as opposed to 16 percent of the general adult population, took advantage of the pandemic to relocate. Many millennial employees place a premium on the freedom to move to a different region of the country while retaining their same roles. Numerous companies have responded creatively, such as Spotify, which established a flexible “Work from Anywhere” program that extends to paying the co-working memberships of workers who do not physically reside near a Spotify office and still want an office-like environment.
