SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY In valuing an organization, millennials look for authenticity and meaning. They go for companies that hold the same values as they do, and rally around the causes they feel strongly for. A study found that millennials look for reputa- tion-related attributes in businesses when looking for jobs. These attributes include caring about employees, envi- ronmental sustainability, community relations, and ethical products and services. As millennials continue to saturate the workforce, as well as the consumer market, businesses must be more adept in the millennial belief system and workplace behavior. Any organization can benefit from knowing their employees well and creating an environment that best suits their employ- ees’ strengths and potentials. Good employees make good leaders, and millennials will soon take the majority of the business leadership seats. It is then optimal to master the art of dealing with the millennial worker.

BEING CHALLENGED AND EMBRACING CHANGE Being the most educated generation to date, millennials are always up for challenges and are ready to take on changes within the organization, provided that they are shown trans- parency and inclusion in the decision-making. INTEGRITY AND ETHICS OF THE BUSINESS A survey conducted on millennials showed that they put much value on how businesses put their employees first, as well as their solid foundation of trust and integrity. Employee satisfaction and fair treatment ranked number one among values that millennials look for in a business, while ethics, trust, integrity, and honesty came in close second. The Department of Labor implements more than 180 labor laws, covering various workplace activities for millions of employ- ers and workers. These labor laws cover employees’ wages and hours, compensation and benefits, workplace safety, among others. Millennials are particular with the ethical and legal practices of organizations they associate with, so they put prime consideration on this aspect.
