Millennials as employees

Research is the lifeline of effective professional communication. To help students begin honing their research skills, you will conduct research for a 10-week period
about Millennials as employees, specifically what their work habits/practices are as they relate to things such as their attitudes about work or employment, how they
use technology, what their values are, how they have been educated, and their attitudes about money/wealth. During the 10 weeks, you will locate and annotate 2 sources
each week. To conclude this project, you will submit an annotated bibliography that consists of 20 sources.

Professional skills you will begin developing in this project include the practice of documenting your research as well as conducting relational research. Regarding
the former, as work becomes more collaborative and distributed it is important that you have a record of research to share with members who will join your research
team. This record will help get your team member up to speed on the work, and the record also projects your vision for the work. Regarding the latter, it’s important
to be able to conduct research without tunnel vision. That is, it’s important to see what concepts/ideas/themes surround and/or inform your main topical area, and to
do that you need to be able to see the language that circulates around and informs your main topical area. We will engage in writing activities in class that seek to
cultivate these two professional skills.
