45% of hiring managers name Gen Z as the most challenging generation to work with.  That’s no surprise–they’re the youngest members of the workforce; and these generational issues are nothing new.  However, is there really something to these complaints besides age?  Gen Z’ers are 8-27 years old.  A large number of people in this generation missed some significant life milestones because of COVID: prom, graduation, freshman year in college.  Critical early education years were experienced virtually.  Many entered a hybrid workforce with their first professional experiences being online.  Important formative years were marked by masks, fear, death, racial unrest and political polarization. Gen Z sees themselves as flexible and healthier, valuing mental wellness and work-life balance.  Others see them as flaky job hoppers who lack the social skills to contribute to a company’s bottom line.  So, what can we do about this?  Whose job is it to “fix” this age-old challenge?  At MeckEd, we’re working with brilliant young people who expect change and disruption, and who see technology’s role in everything.  They’re curious, and they see the bigger picture.  Our focus on providing a variety of work experiences, networking opportunities and soft skills satisfies their curious nature and balances that strong connection to technology.  We provide needed consistency in the midst of the constant change our scholars have experienced.  We see the best in our students and our team works hard to help others see it, too! https://lnkd.in/euRbtapK
