Good news for employers: Gen Zers might be more “tenure-oriented” than job-hopping millennials – but to keep them, employers will need to meet their “overall expectations for quality of life in the workplace,” according to Sodexo’s white paper, “Guiding Gen Z from Campus to Corporate Life: What College and University Administrators and Talent Recruiters Need to Know.”
