Connection & Collaboration Drive Career Choices for Gen Y

Here’s another view into what drives career choices for Generation Y, according to a survey conducted by corporate social networking company SelectMinds.

The results suggest how Generation Y is different. Some highlights of the findings:

Gen Y Demands Networking Opportunities: Nearly half rate networking programs for employees with common interests as a very important employment factor.

Younger Workers Feel Disconnected: More than three quarters feel somewhat or very disconnected from the information flow, politics, and career opportunities.

Gen Y Not Afraid to Walk Out the Door: More than one in four left a job because they felt disconnected from their employer.
