Gen Z and the 'snowflake' myth


Listen Later

It seems as though there’s a news article every day about how the younger generation lack the resilience or work ethic of their parents. There’s even a nickname to sum up this apparent lack of discipline and disregard for the demands of the workplace - the so-called Snowflake generation. Do younger people present problems for employers in terms of laziness or being too fragile? Or is it just a myth?

With nearly 25 years of experience in secondary education, our guest Alex Atherton provides invaluable insights into the resilience and work ethic of today's youth, offering a fresh perspective on whether the perception of Gen Z as fragile and lazy is a stereotype or reality. 

Join us as we explore the evolving landscape of the Gen Z workforce, examining the challenges and solutions for both employers and employees. We highlight strategies for attracting and retaining young talent by fostering authenticity, transparency, and aligning company culture with the aspirations of Gen Z employees and examine the benefits and strategies for a diverse generational workforce.
