This interview of PwC chairman Dennis Nally from last week’s Wallstreet journal looks at some interesting trends in talent retention. One thought that clearly stood out of the article is how organizations are changing to adapt to the new generation. When a firm is trying to hire the best of young adults graduating from schools across the country, what is it that they need to do to cater to their interests? These are people who log on to facebook the first thing in the morning from their bed, those that cannot imagine a life without iPads and smart phones. As rightly pointed out, “If your HR policies aren't responsive to what they are looking for, they are going to go to a company that is.”
From times when the sole reason many organizations considered installing web filters to block orkut and myspace, here stands the corporate world fully prepared to wholeheartedly embrace the new technology and the people addicted to it. It feels like we have come a long way in a short span of time.
