The Millennial Effect: How the Largest Group in the Workforce is Revolutionizing Office Culture

Millennials have surpassed baby boomers in size and certainly in their impact in the workplace. In just the decade or so since this group has started entering the workforce, we have seen the significant impact they have on office cultures around the nation.  Companies that aren’t taking into account millennial wants and needs when building their businesses are going to find themselves struggling against their competitors to attract and retain top talent.

Q: What happens when companies refuse to adjust their environment to millennial demand? In other words, why should businesses care what millennials want?
