Gen Z in the workplace: lazy, entitled…or huge untapped potential?
Gen Z expert Laura Bas helps us bust the myths and explore what the new generation really wants from work - and why HR leaders and managers need to pay attention.
Every new generation entering the workforce gets labelled "difficult". But despite the stereotypes, Gen Z employees aren't here to break the workplace - they're updating it (maybe for the better).
Are they really lazy and entitled...or are we overlooking what really drives them?
💡 What you'll learn:
Helping your Gen Zers thrive is not only good leadership, it's essential to the future of work and your org's success.
