Winning Strategies to Attract and Retain Gen Z

By 2030, 30% of the global workforce will consist of Gen Z talent. As a business leader, it’s vital that you’re able to attract and retain these candidates, given that they’ll only become a greater part of your workforce as we move through the decade. Knowing how to assess these candidates is only half of the battle—it’s also important to know how to motivate and drive them.

There’s often a sense that the demographic is an enigma. Still, it’s clear that organisations are recognising the unique ways in which Gen Z talent approaches their work and the resilience and productivity benefits that they’ll be missing out on if they don’t provide an environment in which these candidates can thrive. 

Of course, there have been plenty of articles across the web over the last few years exploring Gen Z job expectations. Despite the solid insights that many of these blogs and reports offer, we wanted to go beyond that to focus closely on the impact that Gen Zs will have on profitability and business change within the modern sales environment.
