Ancient Greek philosopher (and all-around brilliant chap) Heraclitus famously described change as the only universal constant. 2,500 years later, that's never been truer — and one need only look to the labor markets for evidence.
Last year, the Pew Research Center reported that millennials had surpassed both boomers and Gen Xers to become the largest and fastest-growing segment of the workforce.1 Given the significant chunk of their ranks still in school, and the disproportionate number of millennial immigrants, that margin is only going to increase.
Yet for a host of reasons, they're also notoriously difficult to retain. While previous generations happily exchanged loyalty for stability, Deloitte's Millennial Survey 2016 revealed that 64 percent of U.S. millennials expect to leave their organizations by 2020.
