Human Resources Human Resources Employ People Manage People Succeed at Work From Susan M. Heathfield, your Guide to Human Resources Vol. 12 No. 57 - ISSN: 1533-3698 May 3, 2011 Dear People: On the Human Resources Forum, an employer has posted a question about young employees.

The millennial employees he is discussing do have certain characteristics that make managing millennial employees a challenge, but there are also many myths about millennial employees that are widely believed. In my company, we hire a number of young people right out of computer science school. Some of them do bring the sense of entitlement that is discussed in the Forum thread, but they also bring characteristics that are admirable. You can make the most of your millennials when you take advantage of their strengths. Do you know that I write a new blog post every day? Check out the blog in the center column on my home page.
