PwC study confirms and dispels myths about millennial workers
Evolving talent strategies necessary to match the realities of today’s workforce
NEW YORK, April 17, 2013A new report released today, PwC’s NextGen: A global generational study, reveals that enhancing workplace flexibility and equity between work and home is one of the keys to improving job satisfaction among Millennials. According to the report, while younger workers are more tech-savvy, globally focused, informal, and willing to share information, they do not feel more entitled or less committed than their non-Millennial counterparts, and are willing to work just as hard. PwC’s NextGen is one of the largest, most comprehensive studies into the attitudes and behaviors of the Millennial generation.
“The Millennial generation is pushing organizations to the work world many of them want,” said Terri McClements, Vice Chair and US Human Capital Leader at PwC. “Those organizations that pay attention to this seismic change and adapt accordingly should find themselves at a competitive advantage and better positioned to retain the talent they work so hard to attract. We have always paid close attention to the needs of our people, but this study gives us better insight to deliver on our strategy of engaging them.”
