Today, results from the four month generational employee recognition preference study were released. If you have been reading this blog for awhile you may have even participated in the study. The results are quite interesting.
The study looked at preferences in awards, feedback, structure, work/life balance, and socializing. Millennials differed from other age groups in each of these areas. The full report is available.

Cindy,
I am so happy to see your results are published! We had 12 college students, all under the age of 23 start this summer, and I 100% agree with your findings that they want the most structure. They are constantly asking about the rules and procedures, and looking for daily feedback.
Thanks for all your work to get the survey published.
Andrea
