Over the past decade, HR professionals and company leaders have had to adjust their strategies to accommodate two new realities with enormous implications for the workplace. The first is the growing role of technology in company operations, including technologies that make all-remote workforces possible. The second is the rise of a new generation with a distinct set of values and priorities: Millennials.

As of 2015, Millennials became America’s most numerous workforce demographic, and at 80 million strong, they are the largest generation in history, which means they have outsized influence. As digital natives who grew up with the internet, Millennials are more prepared than most to contend with the ways technology is changing business operations.
If you’re an HR professional or manager who is in charge of operating companies with nontraditional workforces and nurturing the best and brightest of a new generation, it’s essential to understand what Millennials value and how technology intersects with their workplace experience. In many ways, the fundamentals of the workforce have shifted.
