You don't need to look far to find evidence that people don't feel ready when it comes to work. Some bosses complain that Gen Z workers don't know what they're doing and are lazy. HR professionals and Gen Z workers argue that young people want to be successful in the workforce, but they simply aren't given the tools to do it. The rise of remote and hybrid work has complicated the situation even more.
Key Details
- In a survey from Adobe, 83% of Gen Z respondents said having a mentor at work was crucial to their career, but only half said they had a mentor.
- It's not just young workers who are facing a training problem; it's everybody. For Gallup's employee-engagement indicator, less than half of US employees said they knew what's expected of them at work.
- The pandemic-driven upheaval of the recent years led to high amounts of job-hopping, organizational brain drain, and a decline in loyalty among employees.
