Gen Z at Workplaces - Insights from Lauri Goodman Lampson

Attracting and retaining Generation Z talent is a significant challenge for today's business leaders. According to Lauri Goodman Lampson, President and CEO of PDR Corporation, neglecting this workforce shift can result in high turnover, a fractured culture, and underutilized spaces. Lampson suggests that companies can use Gen Z as a catalyst for innovation by remembering their perspective, being open and flexible, asking questions, fostering inclusivity, and leveraging rather than lecturing. Gen Z values aligning with company values, feeling responsible for their careers, having their voices heard, experiencing a sense of belonging, and understanding the reasoning behind decisions.

Embracing the Gen Z mindset can help organizations attract and retain young talent, encourage innovation, and build resilient workplaces where everyone thrives. By leveraging the insights of this generation, companies can unlock new possibilities and shape future-ready workplaces that benefit all employees.
