Pollen Careers This post highlights an important point: Gen Z isn't undisciplined, they’re navigating a work environment with little guidance. The lack of proper onboarding is especially critical for Gen ZAlpha (born 2006-2012), who will soon join the workforce. As future talent, they’ll need structured support to thrive. Understanding this shift is crucial for employers aiming to foster a productive, loyal workforce. For more actionable insights on connecting with Gen ZAlpha, consider following our GEN ZALPHA page.
Such a great read, so much food for thought. I always focussed on onboarding as key when hiring new starters (no matter their level). It’s such a basic but something that’s clearly been left behind or forgotten about amidst the post covid return for employers. If we don’t set employees up for success, we can’t expect to see success - it’s a two way street as you said.

1wReally interesting read. Love the notion of giving young people the freedom to fail - I see too often companies defaulting to micromanaging under a false illusion that this is what good learning and development looks like, when in actual fact it can be stifling and bring about a fear of failure.
