And new generations have different expectations for the workforce, bolstered by an increase in working from home and a growing number of companies offering unlimited vacation days.
According to a June report from CNBC and an August report from LinkedIn, Generation Z is increasingly concerned about employer feedback and value and equity-focused workplaces.
Six expectations Gen Z has for employers:
1. Leaders who care about diversity, equity and inclusion and show upward trends in regards to diversity in the workplace.
2. While Gen Z wants flexible work hours and work from home schedules, having more in-person opportunities is important. Sixty-three percent of Gen Z employees prefer in-person job training.
3. Sixty-seven percent want a job that will allow them to learn more and advance their career pathways through promotion and development opportunities.
4. Workers want consistent, agile feedback and communication from employers, with a preference toward frequent check-ins over annual performance reviews.
5. More “experiential” learning, with less traditional work set-ups, and no more 9-to-5 hours.
6. Bosses who invest their personal time into employee’s successes.
