Millennials struggle to make it past the crucial 90-day mark when starting a new job largely due to “own goals” such as lateness and absenteeism, a HR expert says.
Greg Weiss, who specializes in developing “onboarding” programs to help improve retention rates, says businesses face a growing challenge with the new generation.
According to Deloitte, millennials will make up 75 percent of the global workforce by 2025, but data shows this cohort have a much higher churn rate — and it’s costing money.
In 2015, the Australian arm of global consulting firm PwC estimated staff turnover in the first 12 months was costing Australian businesses $3.8 billion in lost productivity and $385 million in avoidable recruitment costs.

The “crucial 90-day mark.” Don’t think of it as a job. Think of it as training for your future unemployment.
A highly placed HR executive in our industry has noted that one of the major problems is that they, in her words, “resist” the notion that they need to start at the bottom and work their way up the ladder.
“I have my fancy degree, so turn over the keys to your company to me”.
I was lucky I had to mow yards in the Texas heat during the summer back in the 70s $5 for 45 minutes of work. It made studying much easier.
Let them work in construction for a year. That will wake them up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I won’t hire the whiny little pukes.
No, too much LDS in the 60s!
Gator is right.
You miss the point. The blame is NOT with companies.
Do you not know the vast majority of snowflakes that are rubberstamped through school are incompetent?
Even so called “educated” idiots like AOC who graduated cum laude from Boston University is not even competent enough for the real world. Hence, she is a Congressional idiot.
New hires at our pretty conservative business now get 1 week vacation after 90 days. Just because that’s the way the market led us because of these wimps.
All us people hired before about 3 years ago had to WORK a whole year before we got a week’s vacation. Although we could borrow time but we had to have a darn good reason and a great work ethic on the job!
So your solution is that if you have a bunch of non-motivated workers just keep raising their pay?
Good one.
When you clean out the garage or work on the car you have them hold the tools for you without their phones in their free hand.
Better one.
Pay enough to hire competent and motivated people. they are out there.
You get what you pay for. Pay peanuts you get crap. And deserve it.
Employers who whine about not being able to get good people are just as loathsome as people who won’t focus and work their tail off to do a good job.
Just a bunch of whiners.
Maybe they do not have 2 parent, stable families?
the blame is ENTIRELY with companies.
You get what you pay for.
Pay crap wages, get lazy and incompetent people.
Want educated, ethical hard workers? You aren’t going to get that with the crap wages and work environment that whiner wants to provide. Tough.
The free market works perfectly fine, and this moron was probably happy as a clam to get good but desperate workers for the very barest minimum of pay and offer then no more than whatever was the legal minimum when the economy was crap, he can go to hell. Why is it that supposed ‘conservatives’ praise the free market when it screws whatever group they hate and then gripe about those exact same forces when a company has to pay a decent amount to keep people?
I in no way *miss* the point; I feel that the a-holes whining about not being to find workers for the crap wages they want to pay are every bit as contemptible as people who don’t want to work.
“Millennials struggle to make it past the crucial 90-day mark when starting a new job largely due to “own goals” such as lateness and absenteeism, a HR expert says. “
Look, I’m harsh on these people as much as any other old fart, but 90 days?
Is this really backed up with any data?
You were rolling in dough @ $5 for 3/4 hour work when the minimum wage was $2.30/hr.
mythical drivel
It’s easier to whine :-)
Thirty or forty years or so ago a person out of college could get a job that would allow them to buy a house and start a family. Employers who don’t want to pay enough for a new grad to do the same can darned well go out of business.
So you don’t believe in the free market? Not very conservative.
You get what you pay for.
Plenty of smart hard working folks. This cheap ass doesn’t want to pay for them
I get it.
You have a crap job that pays crap wages. Or you have no job at all.
And this has altered your POV on reality.
I hope things turn around for you real soon. Good luck.
Part of it is different expectations. In the past, more people had their identity tied to their job, they were willing to work harder and longer, that “company man” mentality. Now companies are seeing a new generation that doesn’t want to invest their entire lives into their job, that isn’t willing to grind for minimal compensation, etc. Yes, many millennials are goofy, lazy, want to “travel the world” or something floaty like that (not that there’s anything wrong with that), and have unrealistic expectations, screw those ones. But Free Market principles would dictate that the onus is on employers to offer compensation that will cause the type of employers they’re looking for to stay on...Not complain that people are “overly-informes.” The thrust of this seems to be that the market has changed and companies are miffed that they have to adjust accordingly to retain the type of talent they want.
