THE RESEARCH
According to Intelligent.com, 75% of employers report dissatisfaction with some or all Gen Z hires, and 60% have terminated them within months of hiring.
Another survey from Newsweek highlights that 58% of employers cite concerns about Gen Z’s unprofessional behavior, while 63% worry about frequent job-hopping.
Additionally, 1 in 6 companies in the U.S. is hesitant to hire Gen Z workers, citing issues like poor communication and perceived laziness
🚧 THE CONCERNS
The generational gap in the contemporary workplace is both an obstacle and a chance for growth. More employers say they’re having trouble onboarding Gen Z workers onto their teams.
According to surveys and anecdotal evidences, the concerns are due to:
🔻Misaligned Expectations: Gen Z workers expect unrealistically about their job responsibilities, salary, and promotions.
🔻Communication Styles: Gen Z favors immediate feedback and transparency; these preferences can sometimes clash with traditional corporate communication conventions.
Employers looking to onboard and maintain their Gen Z workforce should focus on finding solutions that will meet their specific needs and expectations.
