Consultant Rieva Lesonsky blogs about the impact that young, digitally-reared employees might have on your small business.


“Is your business ready for the influx of “digital natives”? Maybe you’re already experiencing it.

Also called the Millennials, this generation was born between the early 1980s and 2000s (definitions differ). Essentially, they’re today’s young 20-somethings, and they grew up in a world where technology was a a part of their early childhood experiences.”
