Beyond Gen Z Stereotypes: What Do They Really Want from Work?

What makes Gen Z the most distinct generation at work today? What are the key values ​​that Gen Z and millennials look for in an employer? And what specific aspects of purpose are most valued by younger employees? We are witnessing unprecedented age diversity at work, with five generations collaborating. It's a dynamic, exciting time, especially with Gen Z making up 38% of the workforce. These were some of the questions we tackled in a dynamic podcast with global Top Employer PUMA. Featuring Manisha Agarwal, Director of People & Organisation and Strategic Initiatives at PUMA India, and Apoorva Addepalli, Brand Marketing Manager (a Gen Z-er!), hosted by Livia Lee, Client Success Advisor at the Top Employers Institute. +++ Website: https://www.top-employers.com/en/ Linkedin: /topemployersinstitute
