In this excerpt from Carac TV, Maxime Lagane discusses Generation Z and how it is evolving in a job market where opportunities are plentiful. In several sectors, companies are facing recruitment challenges, while upcoming retirements could further increase pressure on the labor market.
Today, young employees are increasingly willing to change companies when they do not find a work environment that meets their expectations. Company culture, management, communication, and opportunities for career development play an important role in their decision to stay.
For HR departments, the challenge is therefore no longer limited to recruitment. It is also about retaining talent by creating an environment where employees feel heard, valued, and involved.
Why can SMEs attract young talent?
This shift represents an opportunity for SMEs. Attracting Generation Z is not solely about salary or financial benefits. A company with a human-scale structure can stand out through a strong company culture, close relationships, authentic communication, and trust-based management.
SMEs can also highlight their agility, their proximity to company leaders, and the opportunities to quickly take on responsibilities. By offering purpose, recognition, and opportunities for career development, they can strengthen their appeal to younger generations.
-By developing an authentic company culture, trust-based management, transparent communication, and opportunities for career development. Close relationships and recognition can also be important assets for attracting and retaining Generation Z.
