Employers Urged to Adapt as Gen Z Faces Workplace Challenges

Concerns over preparedness and communication skills lead to high turnover, but experts say firing Gen Z workers is a mistake.

  • A recent study found that 75% of companies report some or all recent college graduates hired in 2024 were 'unsatisfactory.'
  • Six in ten employers have already fired college graduates hired this year, citing issues with communication and professionalism.
  • Experts argue that firing Gen Z workers is a strategic error, as this generation brings valuable digital literacy and adaptability.
  • Gen Z is expected to make up 30% of the U.S. workforce by 2030, necessitating adjustments in management and hiring strategies.
  • Employers are encouraged to use aptitude tests to better understand and leverage Gen Z's strengths in the workplace.
