The topic of this essay is an article by Donald Hillman titled The 3 R's of Managing Millennial Employees: Recruit, Relate, Retain. Mr. Hillman is a management consultant by profession and has consulting experience in the government, non-profit and retail sectors. In this article, Hillman implies that managing Millennial employees is typically ineffective due to limited or inadequate research conducted on what motivates younger generations of employees. This ignorance on the part of many managers results in conflict and dissent on the part of the Millennial generation and ultimately leads to problems with employee retention (Hillman). While the author appears to be attempting to provide insight into the topic of Millennial employees in the workplace, he does so in a way that is somewhat ambiguous to the reader. The underlying question presented by the author revolves around employee satisfaction and retention. The author attempts to address how leadership in an organization should relate to the younger generation of employees, how to recruit such employees into the organization, and finally, once hired, what steps the organization should take to retain such engaged and satisfied employees. the company so that they can be retained and continue to grow within that group (Hillman). Hillman says he has conducted three years of research on this topic himself, and that his findings have been peer-reviewed for authenticity. He conducted this research because managers and human resources professionals often rely on this type of research to define the generally accepted values ​​and culture of a defined generation for staffing strategies. What Mr. Hillman fails to provide is any specific data set or documentation… halfway through the document… that provides insight into the values ​​identified by the younger generation of employees. The information should be taken into account during recruitment and project-based positions and used intelligently where the situation allows. Hillman believes there is a specific way the Millennial generation sees the world; he is right in this assessment. Organizations must be aware of the differences between generations and respectful of the values ​​of each. More specific research will prove useful if more variables are introduced and investigated. Such variables could include education levels, demographics, type of industry or location, and even further breakdown by age groups.
