It’s time to seriously consider all that it will take to recruit and retain Gen-Z in the manufacturing sector.įorbes Technology Council is an invitation-only community for world-class CIOs, CTOs and technology executives. Taking into account what parts of a manufacturing organization can progress to meet the needs of this up-and-coming generation could make the difference between the companies that succeed and those that don’t during this economic downturn. But it also requires softer skills such as understanding their non-negotiables-like work-life balance, social factors and job fulfillment. Attracting and retaining a young workforce takes technology, the possibility of career upward mobility and a level of job stability. The manufacturing and distribution sectors are embracing the Gen-Z workforce, but there’s work yet to do. Millennials can translate the ROI and end result of a day’s worth of work to Gen-Z while embracing the generation’s unique needs for fulfillment, work-life balance and mobility. Utilize your millennial workforce as teachers and mentors to help connect a generation that may not believe manufacturing is the place for their careers to flourish. Millennials understand and are equipped to use the latest software, but they still have memories of their parents’ old landline telephone.
Millennials (and a few Gen-X) bridge the gap between the “old” ways and today. Each episode, Rob Cesternino and Jordan Kalish will be joined by special guests to participate in the This Week in Survivor History Ultimate Trivia gameshow. Gen-Z grew up with a computer in every house and their expectations for being plugged in continue in the workplace today. Brush up on your Survivor knowledge, practice shouting your buzzer noise, and get ready to play another round of TWISH Ultimate Trivia. Gen-Z wants to be challenged with meaningful work that makes a difference, combined with a level of digital transformation that ensures their workplace is state-of-the-art and maximizes the technological innovations associated with what they do. The career interests and workplace expectations of Gen-Z have matured and become more pragmatic as we (begin to) exit a global pandemic and enter a recession.
