Unlike previous generations, Gen Z don’t just want a job with good pay and benefits. They’re looking for a more holistic experience. One that aligns with their values, supports their lifestyle, and, most importantly, makes them feel valued as individuals.
This shift is forcing companies to rethink traditional rewards structures. So, having a conversation on this shift is important and that’s exactly what we will explore in this episode.
