(REPLAY) What Gen Z Wants (and Expects) from Work with Melanie Wertzberger

Want To Work There

Hello friends! Welcome back to our ‘From the Vault’ series! I'm taking a short break from recording to fend off some growing burnout. In the meantime, I'm revisiting some of our favorite past episodes.

Whether you missed it the first time around or (like me) need to hear something a couple times for it to really sink in, we hope you enjoy this fantastic conversation with Melanie Wertzberger.

In this highly-downloaded 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.
