Overview

As Generation Z increasingly enters the workforce, companies face new challenges: how to attract, integrate and retain young talent who bring with them profoundly different expectations, values and behaviors from previous generations.

By 2030, Millennials and Gen Z will together represent the majority of the global workforce, making the ability to understand and respond to their needs crucial to building cohesive and competitive teams.

This course provides practical tools and strategic thinking to better manage intergenerational dynamics in business. Participants will explore the distinctive characteristics of Generation Z and learn innovative recruitment, structured onboarding and long-term retention strategies that can enhance the potential of these young professionals.
