Connecting with young workers – Canadian Manufacturing
But the reality is that as our population ages, the labour force is shifting towards a younger demographic. The oldest millennials are mid-career and looking for future growth opportunities, while younger millennials and generation Z are entering the work world with a vastly different viewpoint than previous employees. They do have varied aptitudes and interests than other generations of workers, but they also have different demands of employers. If Canadian manufacturers are going to continue to succeed, they must find creative ways to attract these young workers, while embracing some of the changes that this generation requires to feel fully engaged in their work.
