These are the top findings from our <a href=\"\/announcing-the-best-places-to-work-for-millennials-2015-award-winners\/\" rel=\"noopener\">2015 Best Places to Work For Millennials Award<\/a> results, representing over 3,000 companies and 500,000 employees.<\/p>\n<p>For example, what attracts Millennials to a job? When <a href=\"\/millennials-gen-y-in-workplace\/\" rel=\"noopener\">recruiting Millennial employees<\/a>, the goal is not only more applicants but also <em>better<\/em> applicants. The research around attracting Millennials shows two big trends:<\/p>\n<p>1. Employment branding is more important than ever. This includes the steps you take to brand both your company and your specific positions in order to appeal to prospective Millennial employees. The most critical touch points include your job description, the career page on your website, and ease of applying. Additional key influencers are social media outlets like GlassDoor.com and other online employment ratings.<\/p>\n<p>2. The second trend we see is the incredible importance of bringing your company\u2019s mission and purpose to life. More than any other generation, Millennial employees want to know and believe in your mission and purpose\u2014which should include valuing your employees and their personal and professional growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Unlocking-Millennial-Talent-c-2015-The-Center-for-Generational-Kinetics.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to download<\/a><\/u> the complete report<\/strong>, <em>Unlocking Millennial Talent 2015<\/em>, and learn how to quickly make the most of Millennial employees in your workforce.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What is your experience with the Millennial employees?
