Millennials and EVPs

The article "How to appeal to the Millennial Workforce" in the Northern Colorado Business Report summarizes findings about working with Millennials. Of particular interest are findings that show these employees, born between 1980 and 2000, have a more positive reaction to their employers when their organizations offer strong employee volunteer programs:

The Deloitte survey reveals that those who frequently participate in their company's employee volunteer activities are:

• Twice as likely to rate their corporate culture as very positive (56 percent vs. 28 percent)
• More likely to be very proud to work for their company (55 percent vs. 36 percent)
• More likely to feel very loyal toward their company (52 percent vs. 33 percent)
• Nearly twice as likely to be very satisfied with the progression of their career (37 percent vs. 21 percent)
• More likely to be very satisfied with their employer (51 percent vs. 32 percent); and
• More likely to recommend their company to a friend (57 percent vs. 46 percent)
