Millennials are comfortable working on a “need to know” basis…as long as it’s understood that they are the ones who need to know. For Gen Y the boundaries between friends, coworkers and superiors are more than just a little blurred. They have no qualms about texting top executives for the information they need to get a project done.

Engagement Opportunity

Many-to-many conversational media can provide workers with transparency into the boardroom, and provide access to executives in ways that have never been possible. Even when it’s not appropriate to provide Gen Y with the access they crave, by all means keep them in the loop.

The right social recognition program gives you visibility and insight into the ways your team actually works. It helps you personalize your engagement policies by focusing on the strengths of individuals and their connections.
