Meeting the Millennials: Employees of today

Employees today are not just looking for a job with a salary and financial benefits; they’re looking for a rewarding, diverse career with skill development, acceptance of their personal beliefs and activities, a technologically savvy workplace, and the ability to move quickly from one part of an organisation or region to another. They want fewer hierarchical structures and more flexibility; they are willing to work hard, but they need to define how they do their work.

PwC’s most recent Global CEO Survey found more than 90 per cent of business leaders surveyed aim to make significant changes to their human resource policies in the next 12 to 18 months. In making these changes, however, the challenges will be ensuring flexibility and adapting to our employees’ needs, so we can attract – and retain – the right people for our organisations.
