Recruiting young workers is only half the battle.

Retaining them requires creating a workplace culture where people feel respected and supported.

Leadership matters

Jobsite supervisors and managers play a major role in shaping culture.

Leaders who communicate clearly, provide feedback and support their teams create environments where employees want to stay.

Build community

Team events, mentorship programs and collaborative work environments help employees feel connected.

Workers who feel part of a community are far more likely to remain with the company.

Respect the next generation

Every generation approaches work differently.

Companies that embrace those differences rather than resisting them will be more successful in building strong teams.
