And, as Gen Z enters and becomes an increasingly large part of the workforce, there is an urgent need for companies to hire and retain Gen Zers. In this course, Sophie Wade shows you how to foster engagement with Gen Z and modernize your workforce to adapt to workforce changes — including taking a human-centric approach, recognizing Gen Z realities, orienting toward a skills economy, and more. Sophie explains how Gen Z's motivations differ from previous generations, and advises on how you can align their career development with your business growth.
