What’s Motivating the Gen Z Workforce?
[00:06]:
In a Robert Half report examining multigenerational workforces, most baby boomers, Gen Xers and millennials noted competitive salaries and raises as the biggest reason to stay put.
[00:18]:
Not Gen Z though. Only 36% cited money as their biggest motivator.
[00:23]:
So what gets Gen Z out of bed in the morning then? Turns out, a positive work culture and flexibility in when and where they work both do more to motivate them than salary.
[00:32]:
So how can you turn these numbers into a competitive advantage for recruiting or retaining Gen Z workers and others who have the same priorities?
[00:41]:
First, provide in-demand benefits and perks, and clearly communicate the value of the total compensation packages you provide — beyond just salary.
[00:49]:
Next, consider offering flexible work options if your company doesn’t already. And make sure you highlight them in the interview process.
