Abstract


Today one of the trending issues for HR in any organization is managing the millennial, relooking at HR strategies to ensure best connect with this segment has become essential. Gen Y would comprise 75 percent of the global workforce by 2025 (Delloite, 2014) In order to reap the advantages of the huge demographic dividend in India, organization should focus on skill development and nurturing talent of Gen Y (Delloite, 2015) Millennial of digital world want to use technology to improve efficiency at work. Gen Y feels change is constant and employer needs to address this demand. (Deighton, Katie, 2014). Hence it is important to study the expectations of millennials and design the policies accordingly.The purpose of this research was to find the job expectations of Gen Y, which would help to conclude on the behavior of Gen Y. Sample size of 71 was taken and the respondents were from Pune and Mumbai with good educational background and upbringing. The survey was conducted to know the expectations in terms of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors based on Herzberg's theory of expectations. Finally it was concluded that the expectations from job focus more on the content part of the job than the context and that 56% of respondents are open for roles with short commitment, while 70% of them would like roles with positive impact on society and with dynamic responsibilities.
