Millennials in the enterprise, part 2: benchmarking IT’s readiness for the new digital workforce

Millennials — workers between the ages of 20 and 29 who grew up with ubiquitous cell phone and Internet availability — are now a dominant force in today’s enterprise. Is your company ready for them? This report, the second in a two-part series, examines the tensions between IT departments and this new generation of workers, and offers solutions for managers on dealing with Millennials’ preferences. Millennilas are self-reliant, collaborative and hard working — but also impatient and often reliant on “quick fixes,” qualities that can place security risks on a company. After surveying 200 IT departments, we offer this in-depth analysis that includes ways to consolidate the Millennial/manager disparity and ensure teamwork for your company’s success. Companies mentioned in this report include Google, Facebook and Microsoft. For a full list of companies, and to read the full report, sign up for a free trial.
