I still remember the day a frustrated manager told me,
'I just can’t figure them out—Gen Z is like a mystery we can’t crack!'
That conversation changed everything for me."
That was all I needed to niche the work we do especially since it came easy
A few months later, I was consulting for a mid-sized company struggling with Gen Z retention.
Managers were frustrated, and employees felt misunderstood.
The turnover was costly, and team morale was tanking.
The good thing was that the energy on the team was very inviting and the camaraderie could be felt but there was something missing.
When I had time with the leadership team, it became clear they weren’t speaking the same language as their younger employees.
What Gen Z saw as authenticity, their managers saw as unprofessional.
What managers called resistance, Gen Z called valuing their mental health.
This wasn't new cos i had seen similar script play out with millennials but this was slightly different.
We worked together to bridge the gap:
✅ Clear communication strategies to align expectations.
✅ A revamped feedback culture that motivated the team.
✅ Tailored tools and frameworks to engage Gen Z in ways that resonated.
Within 90 days, there was a review and they didn’t just retain their Gen Z employees—they had a happier, more productive team.
This isn’t just one company’s story.
It’s the reality for organizations navigating a multi-generational workforce.
The solution is not letting them go at the end of the year as you plan to do, there is more to it.
As 2024 comes to an end, I know many organizations are asking:
How do we engage Gen Z employees more effectively?
How do we align our workplace culture with their values?
How do we reduce costly turnover and build teams that thrive?
You don’t have to wait until next year to figure it out.
