In the last decade, cutting-edge technologies revolutionized the workforce and placed an emphasis on HR functions, business process automation, and employee wellness. In 2019, the industry got a buzz in the workplace environment where experts have created a few dimensions like the behavior of different generations and employee motivation through their well-being. But in today\u2019s article, we are going to focus on the Millennial Workforce in 2020, as around 50% of the total U.S. workforce is made up of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Millennial Workforce in 2020<\/span><\/h2>\n

The age range of generations depends on different factors. According to the Pew Research Center, people born between 1981 and 1996 are considered as Millennials. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics assumes that by 2030\u00a0 Millennials will be 75% of the total workforce. As a consequence, industry experts are sharing their opinions for this digital native generation. Among all of the criticisms, a lot of positive changes are expected for the Millennial Workforce in 2020 as mentioned below:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Optimum Use of Technology<\/span><\/h3>\n

This generation experienced the evolution of technology. They have been brought up during the explosion of the internet, and use gadgets almost all of the time. Although there are a lot of criticisms surrounding their digital nativeness, they also prefer the use of technology in the workplace. For example, they do not prefer to work in such an environment where a manual work process is followed, but the workplace where cutting-edge technology is being used.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Mobility of Workforce<\/span><\/h3>\n

As technology evolves the business industries and Millennials are digital natives, the combination will definitely increase the capability of working from off-site or home. The flexibility of remote work\u2014at least for part-time\u2014 also helps employers to stay competitive in recruitment. Working remotely or from home is a lucrative employee package, yet on the other hand, the use of technology raises the accountability of remote workers. For example, Kronos users integrate the RightPunch biometric time clock<\/a> that allows remote employees to clock their time using their mobile phones by taking a selfie.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Business Process Automation<\/span><\/h3>\n

Business Process Automation (BPA) is also known as digital transformation. Millennials prefer the technology-enabled automation of complex business processes rather than manual working processes. In 2020, it is expected that industries will adopt business automation apps<\/a> that will streamline the business process, digital transformation, quality service delivery, and improved bottom line.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Four-Day Workweeks<\/span><\/h3>\n

Eventually, Millennials will be the most efficient segment of the workforce. Unlike Generation X, they are comfortable to work using technology. They are capable of working faster and harder, and as a consequence, Microsoft successfully implemented a four-day workweek in its Japan office this summer. They observed the impressive productivity increases and it has been assumed that more companies will adopt the same structure.<\/span><\/p>\n
