How do you adapt to this change?
2000: Average Tenure = 10 Years
2025: Average Tenure = < 2 Years
Over the past few months, I’ve spoken with managers and employees across industries about the roots of today’s productivity and retention challenges. The insight was uncomfortable but clear. It’s that a new generation views employment through a B2B (Business-to-Business) lens.
The Old Mindset:
The company is my family. I will sacrifice for the family, and they will take care of me."
The New Mindset:
"I am a business (Me, Inc.). You are a client. I provide a service for a fee. If the scope increases, the fee must increase. I have another client."
So, I'm curious, for both Managers and Employees: What does a successful, productive, and mutually beneficial partnership look like to you in this new reality?
