It was in 2016 when Gina Pell, an American creative director, coined the term Perennial, to describe a group of:

curious and resourceful people of all ages who live in the present, know what's going on in the world, keep up with technology, and connect with people of all generations.

They are workers of different ages, who put themselves out there, driven by a constant passion for learning. They adapt to any context, to new ways of being, to different work tools.

Perennials are people who want to leave their mark on society and their environmente, who want to grow, learn and constatly discover how to improve. They take risks and help others, whether through mentoring or sponsorship.

Having a Perennial on a team is a guarantee of energy for innovation, inclusion and learning for the entire team. Because of their lifelong curiosity, they like to be involved in different kinds of projects and experiences, both personal and professional, and therefore need freedom and flexibility to follow their passions.

Perennials are now constantly on the radar of HR professionals and are the new talents to attract and retain. They love challenges and researching the latest economic, digital and social trends. They are looking for flexible career paths and leaders who can support and inspire them to become who they to want to be.
