Millennials, referring to those born between 1980 and 1995, represent an increasing share of the workforce. This is evidenced by a recent report from Deloitte University Press that showed millennials “have recently inched past the other generations to corner the largest share of the US labour market” (the same phenomenon is also happening in KSA and other Gulf countries), and that a growing number now occupy senior positions.
They are no longer leaders/CFOs of tomorrow, but, increasingly, leaders/CFOs of today - as such, their views on how business does and should conduct itself are of more than academic interest. Millennials are taking their values with them into the boardroom.
Finance executives need to address the challenges of not only the accounting profession but also the challenges posed by the millennials’ ways of working. We share further insight in our collaborative perspective with Deloitte Middle East.
