Gen Z Faces Challenges in Workplace Integration and Retention
Gen Z employees are experiencing high turnover rates shortly after being hired, with employers citing gaps in communication, professionalism, and workplace readiness. According to Suzy Welch, a professor at NYU's Stern School of Business, the issue may stem from a fundamental misalignment between Gen Z's values and traditional workplace expectations. Gen Z prioritizes self-care and individuality over achievement and work centrism, leading to conflicts with employers who value competition and dedication. This generational mismatch is compounded by the impact of AI and a changing job market, which are altering entry-level job opportunities.
