Abstract
Over 70 million adults born between 1981 and 1996 make up the generation of adults referred to as millennials, the fastest-growing group making up the present-day workforce, with 56 million currently employed or looking for work. One in three individuals in the workplace is a millennial. Because millennials make up such a large portion of the workforce, it is imperative that employers better understand them and understand how to engage them. This 2-page fact sheet written by Lauren Headrick Sweeney, Matthew Benge, and Hannah Carter and published by the UF/IFAS Agricultural Education and Communication Department discusses offers some strategies.
