Luring the top employees from the U.S. applicant pool means looking at Millennials and understanding what they desire, including a good salary and unconventional benefits as well, reports Employee Benefit Advisor. The new Staples Advantage Workplace Index indicates that a flexible work schedule would improve happiness for nearly half of Millennials, and 59 percent indicated it would increase productivity.
The breakroom was another important area. Staples found that a well-stocked breakroom leads to happier workers (57 percent) as well as employees being less stressed and more productive.
Editor’s note: Attracting and retaining Millennials is important inside the vending operation, but also presents an opportunity for vendors to develop services to assist other companies to retain Millennials workers as well.
