Original article on BullDog Reporter
Business should focus on people and purpose, not just products and profits in the 21st century according to Deloitte Global’s fourth annual Millennial Survey. This and other findings from the survey suggest businesses, particularly in developed markets, will need to make significant changes to attract and retain the future workforce.
The study, which surveyed tomorrow's leaders from 29 countries on effective leadership and how business operates and impacts society, found that Millennials overwhelmingly believe (75 percent) businesses are focused on their own agendas rather than helping to improve society.
"The message is clear: When looking at their career goals, today's Millennials are just as interested in how a business develops its people and how it contributes to society as they are in its products and profits," said Barry Salzberg, CEO of Deloitte Global, in a news release. "These findings should be viewed as a wake-up call to the business community, particularly in developed markets, that they need to change the way they engage Millennial talent or risk being left behind."
