Managing millennials (and Gen Z)
Are younger workers asking too much from their employers, or changing work for the better? Evan Davis and guests discuss.
Younger workers want unlimited holiday, refuse to give up remote working, and are constantly looking for their next job, or so the clichΓ© goes. Millennials and those even younger (Generation Z) do typically have different attitudes to work than their older colleagues, but what are they really, and how are they changing workplaces?
Is it all about finishing early on Fridays, finding a company with a strong ethical stance, or looking for the quickest possible route to success? And to what extent have the pandemic and remote working changed the relationship between employees and employers, especially for those new to the world of work?
As these younger workers make up an ever-growing proportion of staff at UK firms, Evan Davis and guests ask what’s the best way to manage and get the best out of them.
