3. Work-life Balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nNearly forty percent of Gen Zers consider work-life balance as the largest factor when choosing an employer. Work-life balance extends beyond hours worked each week. Gen Zers want employers that support them in creating a well-rounded life both inside and outside the office.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Clear and Timely Feedback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Although Gen Zers are generally optimistic about their future, they are anxious about their ability to be successful employees, with over a third of them considering their anxiety to be a major barrier to success. Offering clear and timely feedback helps to bridge the gap between employee and leader and helps to clarify expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alissa Parr, PhD and Director of Talent Solutions at Talogy, comments on the importance of feedback: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cProviding real-time feedback not only provides them with insights into how they are doing and what they can do to improve, thereby making them a better employee, but it also creates a culture of openness between the manager and employee. This facilitates greater engagement in the employee because they know the manager is invested in them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n As the workforce shifts, more and more power is placed in the hands of the employee. Generation Zers are outspoken and solid in their values and look to work in an environment that shares the same values they do individually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more about the importance of developing values and their impact on cultural fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To attract, develop, and retain Gen Z, it is important to consider the workplace characteristics that they are looking for. As a generation that is well educated, strong willed, technologically aware, and diverse, we have much to offer to the workplace. The ability to welcome and understand the next generation helps to create a cycle that emphasises individuality and collaboration in every workplace environment for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organisations are increasingly turning to the concept of \u201cculture fit\u201d for successful recruiting and hiring. Ensuring that new recruits have values and beliefs that align with those of the existing organisational culture can be even more important than skills, qualifications, and experience when it comes to successful recruitment decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n5.
