An interesting approach, authors utilized the Infor Talent Science Applicant Research Platform (ARP) for this research project. The ARP is a new addition to Infor’s software that allows users to quickly collect information about job applicants across a wide variety of industries and job levels.

From this research, we have found evidence to oppose six pieces of workplace conventional wisdom,” the authors wrote.

- Millennials put more emphasis on culture and environment than the actual work.
- Friendships at work are critical to keeping employees happy.
- Employees expect someone else to take control of their professional development.
