The 10 Must-Read Articles for Talent Professionals This Week

For talent professionals looking to attract Gen Z workers to their companies, selling “prestige” may not be the way to go.

According to a recent article from BBC Worklife, Gen Zers may be less than impressed with a company’s name recognition or working in industries that traditionally hold a lot of cachet. The youngest generation to join the workforce may even be redefining what a “prestige job” looks like — from working at a company that’s a household name in an influential or high-paying industry to something that simply “enhances their own life.”

“This may,” writes BBC Worklife, “include a position that enables a worker to live the lifestyle they want — whether that’s being an entrepreneur, working in an industry that aligns with their values and passion, or securing a job that enables them to build their personal brand on the side.”

If you’re looking to adjust your employer branding strategy to better meet the values of Gen Z workers, be sure to check out the article at the top of our list below of must-read articles for talent professionals.
