024: Keeping Gen Z Engaged: Culture, Mentorship, and Meaningful Work

In this episode of Generations at Work, Susan Davis and Dr. Tim Elmore explore effective strategies for attracting and retaining Generation Z employees in the workplace. Drawing from Dr. Elmore's new book The Future Begins with Z, they discuss the unique challenges employers face with Gen Z's changing attitudes toward entry-level work, higher rates of job-hopping, and the importance of workplace culture and leadership style. They're also joined by Adrienne Kelly, a Gen Z member of the workforce, who shares her firsthand experience transitioning into the workforce, highlighting how culture, mission, and meaningful connections with leaders shaped her commitment to stay. This episode offers practical insights for leaders—including the value of moving from a gatekeeper to a mentor mindset, fostering open communication, and creating a welcoming, growth-oriented environment—to ensure Gen Z feels engaged, valued, and motivated to remain with their organizations.
