Turnover in the workplace is a growing issue. The youngest and largest cohort of workers--millennials--are frequent job changers. Some forecast that millennials, who are between the ages of 22-37 in 2018, will change jobs 13 times over the course of their careers. This trend of high millennial churn isn’t just a challenge for HR and hiring managers—it hurts the bottom line for businesses.

According to a [Gallup report on the millennial generation](http://news.gallup.com/reports/189830/millennials-work-live.aspx#), millennial turnover costs U.S. companies more than $30.5 billion annually. Yes, that’s thirty billion dollars every year. So, what can companies do to make a difference?

## **Using technology to reduce millennial churn**

While the majority of millennials (55%) are not engaged in the workplace, according to Gallup, they are interested in career opportunities where they can learn, grow, and advance. According to [Peoplefluent](https://visual.ly/community/infographic/business/engaging-millennials-using-social-learning-communities), 89% of millennials think it’s important to be “constantly learning” at their job.

Forward-thinking companies are turning to learning, development and recognition technology like digital credentials, which make learning and training more tangible and engaging for millennials. These are a few of the benefits of digital credentials:

3. ### **Recognition technology gets results**
   
    Companies that incorporated employee recognition technology saw a 48% increase in employee engagement across all stages of workers, according to a report from O.C. Tanner Institute.
