We’ve all heard the stereotypes of millennials: They’re lazy, entitled, narcissistic and flighty. In short, they make for lousy employees. But Bruce Pfau of KPMG, writing in the Harvard Business Review, says we’ve got it wrong. “A growing body of evidence suggests that employees of all ages are much more alike than different in their attitudes and values at work,” writes Pfau, who is KPMG’s vice chairman of human resources and communications.
Millennials make up a majority of KPMG’s 30,000-person workforce and, generally, company leaders have noticed little difference between the attitudes of all workers on the company’s annual survey. “KPMG’s millennials are also virtually identical to their older colleagues on every measure of overall engagement,” Pfau writes, including such as pride in the organization, optimism about the firm’s future and trust in leadership.
