The New Employee Contract: How to Find, Keep, and Elevate Gen Z Talent

Book description

Learn about Generation Z from the perspective of a manager at a company looking to recruit and retain staff. This book provides an in-depth analysis of who makes up Gen Z, what they want, and how businesses around the world can give that to them in a way that is meaningful.

In the past, companies were not prepared for the generation of new talent called Millennials. Companies were surprised to learn that Millennials were different from those in Gen X and the Boomers. With the help of author Anthony Onesto, you will not be unprepared when working with those in Gen Z.

The New Employee Contract dives into the needs and wants of this generation of talent that has been born on the iPhone and for whom gaming is second nature. Those in GenZ believe in loyalty and social goodness, use gaming mechanisms, and expect almost real-time delivery on their expectations. The patience of this generation is very short, which explains the success of platforms such as Snapchat andTikTok.

All of this research is presented in a fun, compelling way in this book. Even if you are not working in management, you will want to understand these 74 million socially active Americans who hold $44 billion in direct buying power.
