'Rather be Unemployed Than Unhappy' The 7 things Gen Z want from their jobs.
To better understand what Gen Zs want from their employers, social enterprise Generation Thrive spoke to 50 Gen Zers participating in their programs across a variety of industries and roles.
Here's what they said:
1. Mental wellbeing should be prioritised - not stigmatised.
2. Being valued is a top priority.
3. Flexibility is crucial - but not for the reason you might think.
4. Learning opportunities need to be available - both for career progression and personal goals.
5. Inclusion is expected.
6. 'Digital-first learning'.
7. Ultimately, the work needs to be purpose-driven.
