The answer is train them! I know this scares people who don’t want to invest in training that will not benefit the company for a lifetime. But only 38% say college is doing a good job preparing them for the workforce. Which means they might be expecting employers to do it for them. Employers can benefit from offering continuing learning opportunities to its employees as an attraction tool. We know these young people want to start their own businesses, but we also know they are attracted to stability, so chances are they won’t be starting them immediately post-graduation. Benefits like tuition repayment, in-depth training, startup schools and intrapreneur workshops can all attract Gen Z to your organization. Structuring these benefits over time can also help you earn the loyalty of this pragmatic and money-conscious generation. Gen Z will have 17 different jobs in their life, and they’ll need to continue to learn new skills and how to use new tools as they progress in their careers.

Ditch the degree requirement. Over 60% of Gen Z welcome information about how greece whatsapp phone number companies offer education to those with no university degree. This means if you follow the lead of companies like Ernst and Young, Google, Starbucks and Nordstrom and decide a degree requirement is less important than it once was, you can open yourself up to hungry, talented workers with a bigger sense of loyalty to your company than any MBA student. Look, nearly 62% don’t feel prepared for the job market even after college, so a degree doesn’t have quite the same cache as it used to. Add the skyrocketing costs of a degree these days and it might make sense for your organization to start seeking out grads from code schools, technical colleges, or even straight out of high school into a training program at your company.

Be flexible. I know you just spent a million dollars renovating your fancy open office to make it attractive to the collaborative and social Millennials (in fact, 88% of them really do claim to prefer a collaborative work environment), but Gen Z doesn’t want any part of that. In fact, they value their independence far more. On the other hand, simply because one Gen Z eschews collaboration doesn’t mean they all do. In fact, collaboration may be even more natural to a group of people used to showing their teachers and parents how to use technology and working on group projects. They also are far more into face-to-face communication, even if it’s via facetime, . Independent, focused, pragmatic AND face to face inclined? Sounds like we need to get our work-flex lives in order to make this generation as productive as possible.

Gen Z Gurus David Stillman and his seventeen-year-old son Jonah, on the other OTHER hand, have this to say about collaboration and Gen Z, 35% of Generation Z “would rather share socks than an office space.”
