Generation Z is a cohort that is often characterised by their ambition and desire for success.
However, they are also hugely motivated by social impact within their workplace. Seventy-five per cent would leave their current job for one with a greater impact on global issues, and a more robust corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy.
And that isn’t all they want. A recent study of more than 3,000 Gen Z workers by RippleMatch shows that almost half expect an annual promotion––and are prepared to quit if they don’t get one within 18 months.
However, with a 38% increase in senior-sounding job titles flooding the jobs market, despite 71% of employers claiming Gen Zs are lacking in soft skills, a major disconnect could be at play.
