A quick read from Inc.com - Younger Employees More Loyal.  Some excerpts:

In a survey of 2,469 adults nationwide, 56 percent said they feel appreciated by their employer, according to the latest Workplace Insights Survey by Adecco, a Melville, N.Y.-based workforce-solutions firm.

It doesn’t get any fuzzier than to use the words “feel appreciated.”

Three-quarters of respondents reported that they are committed to their employers, with members of Generation X — ages 30 to 42 — feeling the most secure in their jobs.

I suspect the Gen Xers are moving into management positions and are more confident.

However, the survey also found that feelings of company loyalty often vary by generation. Twenty-one percent of the oldest generation of workers — 65 years and older — do not believe that their company is loyal to them, compared to 13 percent of Generation Xers.

Interesting, but what’s missing?

How about Gen Y?  This is a quick news brief article, but I would think the results for Gen Y would be important (dare I say more important than the oldest generation staring at retirement?).  Retention is a mission-critical issue today so I am surprised that the upcoming generation is omitted.
