What Gen Z Wants (and Expects) from Work with Melanie Wertzberger
Description
We’re baaaaaack! And I’m so excited to be sharing this fantastic conversation with Melanie Wertzberger, the founder and CEO of Shaka, a Techstars-backed startup that helps great companies improve retention through scalable culture programs.
In today’s episode, Melanie and I deep dive into the 1,000+ person research study she conducted around what Gen Z both wants and expects when it comes to work. While some of what she learned made complete sense given what I already know, there were no fewer than three findings that completely surprised me - and likely will surprise you too!
In this episode you’ll learn:
- What values you can expect Gen Z employees to champion in the workplace.
- How Gen Z feels about working from home vs in the office - and it might surprise you. I know it surprised me!
- How side-hustles factor into Gen Z’s view of work and the mindshift change Melanie recommends adopting asap!
- Practical tips for managing Gen Z employees.
- Why Gen Zers expect to make six figures (yes, six!) right out of college and what this means for your recruiting process.
