Having tracked the priorities, concerns, and motivations of the youngest generations in the workforce for the last 12 years, the annual Deloitte Global Gen Z and Millennial Survey has revealed a consistent theme: Young employees want their employers’ values to be aligned with their own–and they want to drive societal change through purposeful and meaningful work.
As I assume my new role as Deloitte’s global chief purpose and people officer, this is an area that I’m paying close attention to: More than 80% of Deloitte’s workforce–some 330,000 of Deloitte’s people worldwide–belong to these two generations. Actively listening to their views and empowering them to drive change is central to my role.
