Gen Z are no longer that young and nor are they all Greta Thunbergs. They are certainly emerging with a different set of priorities from millennials from the rise of degree apprenticeships to #nannacore. How can you get beyond the stereotypes and figure out the subgroups within Gen Z, and what they are expecting from brands.
We have four generations in the workplace whose values, expectations and understandings of work vary hugely. As we shift to hybrid working - how can you cater to their different needs, wants and aspirations? How can you ensure age diversity is tackled and practical steps are taken to address this challenge within your organisation? Sharing from the best organisations in the world, Eliza Filby's message is rooted in practical application.
