There used to be an unspoken social contract between employers and employees. If the latter worked hard and stayed committed, the workplace would provide pay, job security, and even pensions. But that model supported a different time—one when the job supported basic goals, such as getting married, starting a family, and owning a home.
That has all gone out the window. Instead of stability, today’s youngest workers crave job opportunities that provide fulfillment and a sense of purpose, connection, adventure, global experience, and growth. These changing values are reflected in the job-hopping culture of Generation Z (Gen Z) employees.
