Among rampant discussion—including in HR Magazine’s Summer Issue cover story—of what makes a millennial tick, Great Place to Work and Fortune decided to ask Gen Y employees where they are happiest—and the result is the 2015 list of the 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials in the U.S.
Millennials' top picks include some names that are to be expected—Google and Twitter rank in the top three, for example—but the financial services and insurance, professional services and construction industries also have a strong showing, with family-owned Power Home Remodeling Group taking the top slot. The list is based on the anonymous responses of nearly 90,000 millennials to the Trust Index, Great Place to Work's employee assessment survey.
Michael Bush, CEO, Great Place to Work commented, "Business leaders know that a great culture—for employees of all ages—is a crucial competitive advantage in the emerging Great Workplace Era. Leading organizations are constantly monitoring and analysing their employees' workplace experiences and then taking action to improve them. Ranking on this list is a great indicator that these companies' efforts to create great workplaces are resonating with millennials."
Millennials are starting to reach their early thirties, meaning that they will be coming into their own as business leaders and market influencers. In the next 10 years they will dominate the workforce, making up 75 percent of the U.S. employee population.
