Twenty-two variables were identified and selected by millennial students as the most important factors contributing to the millennial employee’s ideal workplace environment. These students were attending a small, southern university School of Business in the United States. On a 5-point Ranking Scale, fifty-two college students responded to a student-designed survey ranking the importance of twenty-two workplace environment variables. It was determined that motivation by “being involved in the company’s decisions” and “working with positive-like-minded people” were the two most important factors. These were followed by “having modern equipment” and “liking the company I work for”. The most significant factors impacting job position selection are “great working conditions including good equipment, good work environment and low stress”.
