Want to reach millennials? Then hire one!

Millennials. They’re described as the privileged snowflake generation that doesn’t live to work and wants more free time than the average retiree. Yet, none of that is true. They’re just a new generation with its own standards, hopes and worldviews. Of course, as a business that means you’ll need different tactics to approach them, which often seems to be a very complex matter for brands that consolidated during the generation of the baby boomers or generation X.

Gig economy provides a new way of working

In our blog: “What do millennials value in the workplace?”, that appeared last month, we talked about the best way to attract and keep millennials in the workforce. It became clear that both managers and HR employees should take the ‘human aspect’ of recruiting more into account. That is not only supported by millennials, but also by employees of all generations. Getting the opportunity to develop yourself further in your job is an absolute must nowadays.

Data consultancy is ‘data science with a baseball bat’

After digitalisation and digital transformation, data is the new hero on the playing field. A logical step when it comes to evolving towards an optimal customer experience. Companies are therefore looking for various different data profiles. In addition, agencies and consultancy firms are attaching greater importance to this in their current approach and services.

As a result, buzzwords are often bandied about and certain terms are misused or taken out of context. Translating data into practical business value is not always straightforward. At The Reference, we therefore use the term 'data consultant' as we place the emphasis on the broader picture and offer more concrete guidance according to the needs of our clients.

Our Senior Data Consultant Roel Peters and Data Consultant Senne Vermassen clarify a few things below.
