Abstract

V originále

In case of low unemployment rate in the EU countries is very difficult to attract appropriate workforce or to motivate youth to start up. The business environment is more innovative than the strict corporate environment before. SMEs must catch the opportunity to hire millennials by offering them the stability of a quality job, but with the benefits of innovation, encouraging creativity, and opportunity to grow. As millennials are the workforce of the future, they must be able to offer the best skillset, mindset, and productivity to SMEs. The main goal is to identify ways how to engage millennials and how think about attractting them due to proper competencies requirement. A cross-national comparison will be made (Czech Republic and Romania) based on qualitative research findings based on secondary and primary resources.
