5 Workforce Management Strategies That Fit Todays Employees
Summary
The same McKinsey & Company article highlights that many GenZers got their first jobs in the wake of the unprecedented global pandemic, rising inflation, and geopolitical conflict. “US GenZers surveyed by McKinsey report the least positive outlook and the highest prevalence of mental illness of any generation.” So, how well do the same old leadership strategies work for this generation? “Unlike previous generations, Gen Z workers don’t view the promotional ladder as the Holy Grail,” observes Kate Duchene, CEO of professional services firm RGP. Forward-thinking leaders who adapt to these changing expectations will not only attract and retain top talent but will also build a more engaged, resilient, and high-performing workforce. If you’re reviewing your workforce management strategies to fit the needs and expectations of today’s employees, look for ways that a skills focus can support your shifts.
