What Millennials Want from Their Nonprofit Workplaces

Abstract This research article focuses on how nonprofits can recruit and retain Millennials, the generation born between 1981 and 1996, by examining what they want in a nonprofit workplace. Millennials are the largest generation in the American workforce, so their workplace needs are critical for employers to understand. As this paper will explore, Millennials are advocating for the types of changes that benefit all workers, regardless of generation, such as living wages, comprehensive and affordable health coverage, schedule or location flexibility, and better management practices.
