Does Gen Z have the power to revert RTO mandates?

"Gen Z's entry into the workforce has undeniably reshaped the dynamics of modern workplaces," says Susan Levine, Career Group Companies founder and CEO. "This generation often enters the workforce with limited business experience but high expectations, and their biggest priority is flexibility."
Susan Levine sat down with Employee Benefit News to discuss Gen Z's impact on the modern workplace. Here is a snapshot from their conversation.
"Companies are getting creative with perks and social responsibility initiatives to attract and retain top talent — particularly Gen Z," she says. "This trend of moving away from one-size-fits-all remote policies is likely to continue as organizations recognize their limitations [and] leaders understand the need for adjustments to revitalize workplaces."
"To bridge the gap between Gen Z's expectations and employer realities, proactive education during the hiring process is also crucial," Levine says. "Companies should transparently communicate their business model, role expectations and company culture."
