Gen Z will be hard to ignore as Glassdoor predicts Zoomers will overtake Baby Boomers in workforce numbers this year.
“Recognizing the unique challenges that Gen Zers face in assimilating into a company’s culture is the initial step to effectively hiring this generation,” Haller said.

In a July 2023 ResumeBuilder.com survey of 1,000 leaders, 45% said their companies already offer etiquette classes and another 18% said they planned to by 2024. A chief education strategy officer for early talent platform Handshake recently told HR Dive professionalism and etiquette training are hot topics when it comes to younger workers, many of whom never had jobs before entering college.
