The graduates of the gene Z are not looking for the cool benefits such as table tennis slabs, but about getting rid of their debts.
Generation Z has to struggle with some prejudices, especially at the workplace. The co -founder of the Handshake career platform, Ben Christensen, recently explained what is really about the hiring of Generation Z. His platform is aimed at the graduates of the universities worldwide and would like to make it easier for you to start your career.
The co -founder noticed that benefits such as unlimited Kombucha and a table tennis plate are nice, but the gen z attaches importance to completely different things.

Get out of debt and a mentor, please!
What is the gene z important? Generation Z sets its priorities differently than other graduates in front of it. This is how Christensen explains on the Fortune’s Workplace Innovation Summit (via Fortune.com):
Students tell us: cool, your table tennis table with Kombucha on the tap is really nice, super funny, but I want to know what will make a difference in my life, […] You are looking for things like learning and development opportunities. You ask: ‘Where is your scholarship with which I can invest in myself and my development in a few years?’
In addition to the further development opportunities, the students also attach great importance to getting rid of their debts. The repayment of studies loans “is important for you if you think about your next job,” explains Christensen. Instead of funny benefits, the gen z apparently is more about getting on in their career.
How does the gene think about the home office? According to Christians, there is also a misconception here. According to his numbers, 81 % of the users of his platform want to get in touch with people on the first job. 47 % of them want to have contact with people in the professional world after their first job.
The gen z is looking for a mentor “from which you can learn how to find your way around the workplace,” says Christensen. He advises employers to think about how to implement personal contacts, even if it is a company in which there is home office and remote work.
The fact that the generation Z is better looking for success in the new job and further training opportunities instead of fun beefits is likely to surprise many start-ups that are still trying to score with offers that are unusual as possible. When Generation Z is in the job for now, it also likes to turn the spit down: Generation Z has become bosses and the first thing they do: they complain about how young people work work
