LIFE JUST GOT INTERGENERATIONAL. 

Today’s workplace is intergenerational. And so is life outside the workplace as well. Similarly today more than ever our work and life boundaries are blurred if not already overlapping.

Some of us no longer even differentiate the two as separate concepts; either because on one end we love what we do and it no longer feels like work (a state achieved when personal values match organizational values and/or when our sense of purpose and search for meaning is fulfilled); or on the other end, some of us have not been able to achieve a healthy work-life balance, so they both feel as one.

Millennials are in search of achieving both a healthy work-life balance and finding meaning at work.  They do not want to indulge in any work for the sake of simply working. They are willing to job-hop, search longer, freelance, and wait to start their careers later than usual for the sake of securing a job that they find fulfilling; one that will provide them with a sense of purpose, meaning, and alignment with their personal values.

Whether they can afford to do so more than earlier generations given their parents and the safety nets that they may have which earlier generations were not privileged to access is another story.

Regardless, this represents a fundamental generational difference. Earlier Generations did not prioritize work-life balance as much, and they regarded work as a normal way of life and one that can be kept separate from their personal lives. For earlier generations work was a privilege that one could not afford to be picky or choosy about. Income was the priority.

Financial security is important for Millennials as well, but not at the expense of giving up ‘living life’ and working without a sense-of purpose and meaning.

The Millennial set of values allows this generation to believe in better.

Better Personal Life.  Better Professional Life.  Better Workplace Culture. Better work-life balance. Better Overall Wellbeing.
