Equity-Able Treatment For A Millennial Workforce

The Millennial workforce gets a bad rap from some quarters. But while Millennials may have different expectations to employees of previous generations, with the right incentives their ambitions can be harnessed so both employers and employees benefit.

The normal scenario – where you start your career at a certain level, then work your way up the ladder by ticking certain boxes - is being overturned. Management is increasingly expected to be flatter, and employees want to be treated as equals with more influence over the business. There are many ways founders can meet new employee demands for more respect and inclusiveness, but one of the most effective is offering equity. After all, it doesn't get more respectful and inclusive than giving away a little of your company.
