Watts, Tanesha; Dieffenderfer, Vicki
American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, Paper presented at the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education 2020 Conference (Online, Oct 27-30, 2020)
Millennials make up the largest segment of the current workforce. However, research about minority Millennials and their needs are relatively unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine what minority Millennials deemed important within an organization's culture and the policies and programs that would persuade them to remain with the company. Purposeful sampling was used to identify participants for this study. The results of the study indicated that minority Millennials expect programs that promote continuing education and opportunities for career growth. They also expect competitive benefits packages, pay, and workplace flexibility. Companies can use this information to gain a better understanding of the culture, programs, and policies that minority Millennials expect at their workplace.
