By 2020, Gen Z<\/span><\/a>, the generation after Millennials, will comprise 20% of the American workforce. And in the next few years, nearly 61 million Gen Zers will be searching for jobs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here are five tips we pulled together from Human Resource Executive<\/a><\/span> to help ensure Gen Z applies to and thrives in your company.<\/p>\n

1. Provide flexible and unique career advancement opportunities<\/h4>\n

In a Robert Half survey, 64% of Gen Z respondents cited the importance of career opportunities in selecting a job. Providing advancement opportunities is necessary to attract and retain this generation.<\/a><\/span> One solution is to use rotation programs. \u00a0Employees can \u201ctry out\u201d different departments within your company to leverage their experience and experience new opportunities for growth.<\/p>\n

2. Deliver continuous learning without detailed instructions<\/h4>\n

Gen Z expects to start at the bottom. What they want is a chance to learn and grow even if that means embracing a lateral move. Gen Z grew up with a smartphone in hand<\/a><\/span> and are habitually looking things up at the drop of a hat. Detailed instructions are excessive. You\u2019re better off pointing them in the right direction with general guidance.<\/p>\n

3. Change up your training to look like YouTube<\/h4>\n

Companies must consider re-thinking the traditional training lectures if they want to keep top Gen Z talent. Short videos like the ones on YouTube<\/a><\/span> can be an effective training tool.<\/p>\n

Trainers should also consider games for learning, especially on mobile devices and in small group activities. Expanded on-the-job training takes on added importance for this generation.<\/p>\n

4. Re-think the open office and focus on private spaces<\/h4>\n

The open office environment created to attract Millennials may not appeal quite as much to Gen Z. The newest generation in the workplace<\/span><\/a> is proving to be a little more focused on individuality, and their work environment should reflect this. Gen Z appreciates a collaborative environment, so a hybrid office plan with both private and shared workspaces is key.<\/p>\n

5. Revitalize you recruiting strategy to include social media<\/h4>\n

Organizations can\u2019t expect to recruit by the old means. Posting jobs online has been essential for years, but companies now need a strong, consistent branding across all online channels\u2014including social media.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not enough to simply post the job description on a listing site. Gen Z wants to find out about your organization on social media, and they want the ability to upload their resume directly from their mobile device.<\/p>\n
