Millennials have somewhat unfair reputation of being disloyal, selfish and even irresponsible. However, this isn’t the case in reality, of course. Millennials are contributing to numerous sectors and industries as well as X-gen population – their older coworkers. The recent study conducted by Building Design Construction, showcases how valuable millennials actually are for the companies they are working for, including construction firms.

Millennials 25% More Likely to Keep Their Position in Comparison to X-gen
It turns out, according to the most recent study, that millennials are 25% more likely to stay on their position for a longer period of time when compared to their coworkers belonging to generation X. This fact is related to the ability of millennials to show a better understanding of the company’s vision and projects. Moreover, millennials are more likely to bring new and fresh ideas to the table. Innovative thinking and loyalty are thus some of the key traits shown by millennials.
Technological Literacy and Millennials in Business
Not only that the conducted research showed that millennials are innovative thinkers, but also showed that this generation is prone to finding new solutions for various problems. The success rate in finding solutions is partially related to tech literacy. Most millennials are doing great with adopting new technologies and finding new solutions with the help of technology. The use of technology contributes to advanced sectors and industries. In addition, millennials are doing great with personal contact, which in combination with tech-savviness gives a perfect result.
Millennials are Great Team Players
Millennials don’t place their own job ahead of the company’s well-being and are thus exceptional team players. This is great for construction companies as collaboration becomes a crucial factor in dealing with design, construction tools, and project management. All these traits can really help the construction industry to go through an important and much-needed transformation.
