Generation Y refers to the generation born between the 1980s to the early 1990s, and they are more colloquially known as millennials. Given that they’ve grown up in an era of developing technology, they are, as a generation, tech-savvy multitaskers. Computers, mobile phones and the internet were all accessible and part of their youth. Therefore, companies have had to adapt and revise their hiring strategy, company infrastructure and overall business ethos to be able to attract this generation. 

In the workplace, it has been found that they prioritize finding purpose in their work, and they are more highly educated than other generations, which indicates a desire to work on themselves and gain new skills. They have been accused of being so-called ‘job-hoppers’, more frequently changing jobs than other generations, however millennials argue that this comes from a desire to improve and seek out new challenges - and that if an organization consistently provides this, they will happily stay and grow within their current job.
