Millennials and the job market
We are talking about those born between 1981 and 1995. In general, they have shown to be concerned with issues of consumption and behavior as professionals. As a rule, there are two large groups: old millennials (who lived most of their childhood without the internet) and the young millennials (who have cell phones since the 2000s).
These young adults are looking for a quieter life. Even more after the last two years that were extremely stressful and bad due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The population as a whole suffered major losses in the period, but for millennials? This was a particularly tense and distressing moment in life.
Millennials and the self-management model
Have you heard about self-management? The term can be translated as the ability to manage oneself, that is, manage one's own behaviors, routines and emotions in different situations. At work, this style guarantees greater freedom for professionals, as they start to work remotely and with a much more flexible workload.
Unlike Generation X, who believed that they needed to work a lot – even if it made them lose leisure and rest time – and that followed the face-to-face work thing to the letter, Generation Y values more the freedom of being able to carry out the activity that the person wants wherever they are he wants. Including, they are usually good at using some technological tools to optimize routines.
The biggest benefit of this is that in order to have access to this lighter style of work, the group has been investing in training and they still value training academic to the individual's life experiences. In addition, when they get a vacancy, they don't settle for what they already know and always seek to innovate.
