Millennials are more likely to describe themselves aspolitically independent, for instance, and feel less attached toestablished political parties, government institutions, and largecorporations.

A recent survey by Gallup shows the implicationsof the anti-institution worldview that is common amongmillennials.

The main consequence is that young workers are significantlyless likely to stay at a job for many years. Unlike the generationof their parents and grandparents, few millennials expect to remainwith one employer throughout their entire career.

Indeed, 60 percent of millennials describe themselves as open tonew job opportunities outside of their current workplace and 21percent have changed jobs in the past year. In comparison, only 45percent of workers of all other ages say they would considerchanging jobs.

The same study suggested that millennials are a tad lessenthusiastic about their work life. Only 29 percent of workers inthat generation were found to be “engaged” at the workplace,although that is only slightly lower than the 32 percent of GenXers and 33 percent of baby boomers.

It is difficult, however, to assess whether the apparentdifference in employer loyalty between the generations is due to afundamentally different view on work or simply the fact that olderworkers are more established in their careers. A large percentageof millennials are just entering the job market as interns orentry-level employees.

However, the Gallup study also reveals potential solutions forimproving engagement among young employees — and likely allemployees. Millennial workers who reported meeting with a manageronce a week were far more likely to be deemed engaged (44 percentvs. 20 percent).

In addition, past polls have shown that millennials are far moreinclined to stay with a company that articulates a mission thatthey believe in. Again, it is difficult to know how much of theyoungest generation of workers’ apparent altruism will change asthey grow older and begin supporting families.
