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.

Late? Absent? Just look in the nearest food court ...
I don’t know what’s going on with kids these days. I am 63 and show up every day a few minutes early, work through lunch a few times a week and punch out on time. I’ve taken 1 day sick in 5 years. Some of the 20 somethings have a habit of showing up several minute to 15 minutes late, take a few minutes extra for lunch and have frequent sick days on Mondays and Fridays. They often cut out early for a variety of reasons, most of which sound bogus. They seem to be the valued employees. Oh well I can see retirement from my seat.
Sometimes I think that if the USA is invaded by an overwhelming foreign power, these young people will give a collective “meh,” and go back to their Iphones.
*before they are all mowed down by bullets fired by young, foreign soldiers who have not been coddled into imbecility.
“You miss the point. The blame is NOT with companies.”
According to the last couple of paragraphs in the article a lot of the fault IS with the companies.

Yep.
It may not be a popular view, but I also think modern jobs tend to be more soulless than the lower-tech ones once were.
Hard to really be excited about a lot of tech-related stuff, though it pays decently. Sales and marketing jobs are still commonplace and they may feel manipulative if you don’t particularly believe in the product. The whole HR game is pretty oppressive of course too.
What a joke. The very reason your idea won’t work is that the market will not allow it
You sound like a dyed in the wool union steward
This!
When I came of age, jobs were plentiful and paid pretty well compared to the cost of food and housing. Jobs are plentiful right now, but they don't pay very well at all. Our political and corporate elites are trying to keep it that way.
We should stop bashing the Millennials. They have been handed lot of pretty lies and told to make the best of it. Most of them are making their way as best they can.
The paths that we took are not generally available to them.
Wrong. Like my current job quite well.
I remember WELL being treated like crap when out of work during the recession after getting laid off.
Laughing my ass off at employers who “can’t get qualified people”. There is only one reason they can’t: they don’t deserve them.
This is a historical anomaly that will not last. In due course, it will self correct. These same smug newbies will find themselves in a competitive environment of job scarcity, and will not have a clue as to what happened..
What are you trying to say.
The market works fine.
Whiners whine.
Pay people enough or get crap workers. Is that too hard for you to comprehend.
What part of “you get what you pay for” is too difficult to understand.
You sound like a business owner who is pissed they can’t pay tiny wages and treat people like crap anymore.
Love this Trump economy.
They don't have any. Serious problem. They've been coddled way too much.
It’s called cheap-assed employeritis.
There used to be a time that a college graduate’s first job allowed them to buy a house. And have a few kids. With a stay-at-home wife. And retire at 62.
The cheap-assed whiner in the article, and some of the pathetic corporate socialists who agree with his analysis don’t think this should be the case.
Show me bad employees, I’ll show you an employer that deserves them.
Used to be a graduate could buy a house and start a family.
Hopefully we are returning to that time and the screwing of grads and general working stiffs is coming to an end.
"In a 1996 interview, Bacall, reflecting on her life, told the interviewer that she had been lucky: "I had one great marriage, I have three great children and four grandchildren. I am still alive. I still can function. I still can work", adding, "You just learn to cope with whatever you have to cope with. I spent my childhood in New York, riding on subways and buses. And you know what you learn if you're a New Yorker? The world doesn't owe you a damn thing."
smart lady!!
I think I see the problem...

Being a union thug has nothing to do with a free labor market!
Only an indoctrinated communist union thug work think it does!
“I think I see the problem...”
Did you read the article?
At the end he blames the companies that hire them.
