There’s no doubt about it: Businesses faced quite the challenge upon welcoming millennials into the workforce a few years ago. They encountered a generation of digital natives who’ve only ever known the rapidly changing world of technology and whose lives, quite frankly, revolve around it. Companies are still running to catch up with the pace of the digital space(opens in new tab), watching their younger employees come and go while they struggle to figure it out.
And we hate to break it to you, but millennials were only the start.
Gen Z has been using iPhones, laptops and streaming services since they were toddlers. They grew up with literally everything at their fingertips and will only expect that upon entering the workforce in the next few years.
So how can companies prepare for that (and future generations) right now?
A digital-first mindset is key, according to Leapgen CEO Jason Averbook.
Our hosts Jason Maynard and Kendall Fisher sat down with the leading analyst, author and thought leader on this exact topic -- where HR meets the impact of technology -- for this episode of “The Grow Wire Podcast.” We discuss why so many companies failed to properly prepare for millennials and why they absolutely cannot make that mistake in the years to come.
