As they ascend into management roles, these emerging professionals are poised to redefine remote work, blending technology with a keen sense of social responsibility to foster environments that are not only productive but also inclusive and sustainable.

A Brit named Robert Owen first proposed the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eight-hour_day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eight-hour workday<\/a>\u00a0in 1817 with America implementing its first eight-hour shift in 1842. This new work model was revolutionary and gave employees more of what we now call, work-life balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the 9-5 strategy was helpful for both employers and employees, times and expectations have changed. Technology and connectivity have reduced the relevance of traditional scheduling and\u00a0the willingness of employees to sacrifice spare time.

Thus, since millennials value their time and seek flexible schedules for themselves, they\u2019ll likely share these beloved freedoms with future team members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-better-work-life-balance\"><strong>2. Better Work-Life Balance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Oxford Economics, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxfordeconomics.com\/my-oxford\/projects\/323290\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">all generations seek work-life balance<\/a>, yet millennials seem to emphasize and prioritize it more than their predecessors. This makes intuitive sense as millennials came of age alongside advancements in technology that are deeply interwoven with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtualvocations.com\/blog\/telecommuting-job-search-help\/history-of-telecommuting-remote-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the birth of the remote work model<\/a>. Though flex-time initially emerged in the late 1960s, it took a few years for technology to catch up and remote work to catch on. But once it did, it changed the nature of work forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Telecommuting gives workers more ownership over their lives and careers so they can achieve balance without sacrificing pay or the opportunity for meaningful work. Unfortunately, this is often seen as \u201cwanting it all,\u201d and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.td.org\/insights\/the-millennial-myth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">millennials get a bad reputation<\/a> for acting entitled. Realistically, telecommuting millennials leverage technology to increase control over their time which raises the job satisfaction bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, as more workers (not just millennials) realize the work-life balance rewards of remote work, we\u2019ll continue to see an increase in remote positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-better-work-life-integration\"><strong>3. Better Work-Life Integration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the intention of work-life balance is great, the concept may miss the mark for some workers. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haas.berkeley.edu\/human-resources\/life-integration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Berkley Haas states<\/a>, work-life balance insinuates that work and career are isolated entities. However, many millennials want their careers interlaced throughout their lives, not standing alone as a separate facet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to eating dinner with their families every night, millennials want to do meaningful work that reflects their lifestyle goals and incorporates their values. They want their careers to be part of their persona, not just something that earns them money so they can go home to be someone different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve better work-life integration, we\u2019ll see millennial leaders creating more mission-based occupations. This will help workers align their jobs with their lifestyles, and vice versa. Though remote workers are ultimately responsible for integrating their careers and lives, we\u2019ll see employers encouraging more workers to set up shop at home or a remote location where they can achieve their work-life goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-independent-contractors\"><strong>4. Independent Contractors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Millennials are notorious for changing jobs frequently until they find a satisfying fit. Regardless of your take on company loyalty, millennial leaders understand and accept that workers may not stick around if something better comes along. So, why would they waste company time and money with the risk of constant turnover?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>To combat the costs of employee attrition, millennials are likely to offer more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtualvocations.com\/q-telecommuting-independent-contractor-jobs.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">independent contractor and freelancer jobs<\/a> for ongoing support or to assess individuals before offering permanent positions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a recent NPR\/Marist poll, <a href=\"http:\/\/maristpoll.marist.edu\/nprmarist-poll-results-january-2018-picture-of-work\/#sthash.tZ6nPG2s.dpbs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one in five workers holds a contractor job<\/a>. More employers are leaning on contract staff to fill gaps, provide temporary support, and reduce overall employment costs, such as healthcare benefits and retirement matching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, millennials are well-versed in the gig economy. Prudential estimates that nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prudential.com\/media\/managed\/documents\/rp\/Gig-Workers-in-America_2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one in four millennials<\/a> have worked as an independent contractor or freelancer so far in their careers. Thus, millennials understand the values, requirements, and expectations needed to create effective relationships with contractors. They are also more likely to treat contractors as company team members rather than outsourced support, despite their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtualvocations.com\/blog\/telecommuting-job-search-help\/remote-work-types-w-2-employee-independent-contractor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employment status<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"ub_divider_9fcbe7af-c649-4c88-b280-dc29f4c6030e\" data-divider-alignment=\"center\" class=\"ub_divider wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 2px\">\n\t<div class=\"ub_divider_line \" \n\tstyle=\"border-top: 4px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; \">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/WhatItReallyTakesToBeanIndependentContractor28120062829-1024x536.webp 1024w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/WhatItReallyTakesToBeanIndependentContractor28120062829-300x157.webp 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/WhatItReallyTakesToBeanIndependentContractor28120062829-768x402.webp 768w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/WhatItReallyTakesToBeanIndependentContractor28120062829.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"60vw\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/WhatItReallyTakesToBeanIndependentContractor28120062829-1024x536.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-498041\" style=\"width:489px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/WhatItReallyTakesToBeanIndependentContractor28120062829-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/WhatItReallyTakesToBeanIndependentContractor28120062829-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/WhatItReallyTakesToBeanIndependentContractor28120062829-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/WhatItReallyTakesToBeanIndependentContractor28120062829.png 1200w\" sizes=\"60vw\"><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtualvocations.com\/blog\/telecommuting-job-search-help\/telecommuting-expert-insight\/what-it-really-takes-to-be-an-independent-contractor-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In this article, you\u2019ll be introduced to the qualities that make a successful solopreneur<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"ub_divider_6d79667e-c500-41ab-8ebf-54980b51ac8c\" data-divider-alignment=\"center\" class=\"ub_divider wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 2px\">\n\t<div class=\"ub_divider_line \" \n\tstyle=\"border-top: 4px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; \">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-geographical-dispersal\"><strong>5.

And, just as they change jobs to satisfy their career goals, they aren\u2019t afraid to move about the country or globe to procure their desired lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/data\/tables\/2018\/demo\/geographic-mobility\/cps-2018.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. Census geographical mobility data<\/a>, over 14.5 million Americans aged 20 through 39 moved within their state, out of state, or out of the country between 2017 and 2018. Compared to other age groups, millennials make up 45% of all individuals who move around. Where are they all going?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/smartasset.com\/mortgage\/where-are-millennials-moving-2018-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SmartAsset<\/a> summed up the top ten states where most millennials are moving:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Washington<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Texas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Colorado<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Virginia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Georgia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oregon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>North Carolina<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nevada<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Florida<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arizona<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>As more millennials leaders emerge, candidates will increasingly find that recruiters care more about a person\u2019s qualifications and cultural fit than geographic location. Though some companies may need to set hiring boundaries due to certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtualvocations.com\/blog\/telecommuting-job-search-help\/why-do-telecommute-jobs-have-a-location-requirement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employee location restrictions<\/a>, it\u2019s unlikely that millennials will see geography as a barrier for hiring top talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-professional-coaching\"><strong>6. Professional Coaching<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/238073\/millennials-work-live.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gallup\u2019s riveting workplace study<\/a> reveals that 59% of millennials view learning and professional growth as critical to their job satisfaction. Additionally, the quality of management and availability of managers to help set goals, expectations, and learning paths increases millennial engagement tremendously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Millennials don\u2019t just want to learn in classrooms and gain more credentials to boost their earnings. They also want coaches who will help them grow and encourage them every step of the way, which is different from the more traditional mentoring method of professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentoring is more of an informal way for an experienced professional to give tips and guidance to a less experienced professional. The mentee often asks questions, presents issues, pitches ideas, and the mentor comments and helps the mentee decide which actions to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coaching, on the other hand, is more metric-based, where the coach holds the employee accountable for achieving a mutually agreed upon target. Just like sports coaches help players strategize and refine their movements to score points and win games, professional coaches help workers develop career strategies and improve their skills so that they achieve their goals. Therefore, millennial leaders will likely implement coaching programs where managers play a more critical role in guiding their team members collectively and individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-digital-readiness\"><strong>7.

Therefore, Millennial recruiters are going prioritize tech-related bullet points and proven capabilities on jobseeker applications more than advanced degrees from prestigious academic institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-you-ready-for-the-new-wave-of-remote-work\"><strong>Are You Ready for the New Wave of Remote Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you believe millennial leaders will crush the status quo or foster gradual progress, the reality is that millennials are entering management and will soon dominate the remote workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to get ready for millennial managers is to get some remote work experience.
