Abstract

Success of any business depends on its organizational performance. Performance of organization depends on its employees who are the assets of the business and help in achieving organizational goals. Within the business community, employee turnover is widely assumed to affect organizational performance and the importance of maintaining qualified employees for the success of organizations is not a new idea. It is not very often that the management would be aware of the true reason as to why an employee would be leaving their organization. This would help the organization to an extent to get a clear picture of what is going wrong. The impact of the millennial workforce's working environment on organizational performance is the focus of this conceptual paper. This research highlights on the factors that influence organizational performance by systematically collecting and contextualizing all empirical evidence from literature that fits the study's context.
