Implications - Keeping today's worker consistently engaged and productive is an increasingly complex task. The millennial employee is known to have a decreased attention span and a penchant for switching careers, hence a subsequent surge in office tools focused on engagement and productivity.
Concepts such as blackboard workspace decor and energy-boosting desks are illustrative of a turn towards stimulation and activation at work. It is no longer feasible to merely delineate a list of tasks, but rather, it is essential to encourage teams in a creative fashion.
As millennials continue to pierce through the modern workplace, these ideas will become all the more essential, especially as a means to train and retain young, talented staff members.
