Organizations considering succession planning need to cultivate employees who currently comprise a majority of their workforce: millennials, those born between 1981 and 1997. In 2015, they surpassed Generation X to become the largest share of the American workforce. Whatever people think of millennials, they are—and will be—critical to future business and economic growth.
