In work-life integration the need for coherence is crucial

Just a few years ago, the millennial generation was described as entitled and lazy. Now, as they make up 35 percent of the working population, it is said that they are confident and value a high quality of life, seeking a balance between their professional and personal spheres. What are they like? Is it even possible to determine the shared needs of individuals born for 15 years? How should employers take care of this significant group in the job market?

“The millennial generation is certainly very diverse, but there are similar underlying values when it comes to their approach to work. Authenticity seems to be a fundamental value here. Employees in this age group want to be true to themselves, which means they must strongly identify with the values of the company that employs them. Their development in the workplace is not just empty words but a genuine need, and the previous concept of work-life balance has transformed into work-life integration for them – the need for coherence in their professional and personal lives,” Paula Rejmer, Country People Lead at SoftServe Poland, said.
