PHILADELPHIA, April 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ Millennials will make up 75 percent of the workforce by 2025.

In fact, he views the presence of so many workers born after 1981 as a positive force that will shift the workplace in ways other generations could only have dreamed about.
"Who doesn't want flexibility, recognition, collaboration and fun at work?" asks Gianoulis, describing the qualities millennials seek in employment. "Millennials are simply bringing decade old problems to the surface and making smart choices to join companies who pay attention to people and culture. After all, they witnessed their parents be slighted or cut by the very companies in which they dedicated their careers. They are not fooled by lip service or window dressings either. Throwing a few foosball tables in the break room won't cut it," he says.
Gianoulis discusses ways savvy corporations can prepare for this transition in presentations across the country, touching on topics such as:
