1. Support Social Causes
• Growing up with social media, bad business has been in front of
these young adults their whole lives.
• On the flip side, they have also seen the growth of companies
like TOMS, whose marketing campaigns relied on their social
work.
• 10-20% of Generation Z are willing to take a pay cut in order to
work for something they care about.

2. Flexibility if possible
• Generation Z has been the driver between the explosion of digital
nomads. With low barriers to entry, the internet made it possible
to gain side-sources of income from online businesses that cost
nothing to start.
• 4.8 million Americans already call themselves digital nomads.
Generation Z sees the internet as a way to create better work,
from anywhere.
• They don’t see the office as the place they have to be. If your
business can swing it, let them work from anywhere they want.

3. Grow them as a person
• Generation Z wants to see their career path and know they can
grow in their field.
• They know that they are competing every second of the day and
want any advantage they can get. The best way to foster this.
Mentor them.
• Set aside 30 minutes a week to meet with an employee over
coffee, field their questions, offer your take.

4. Create a company culture
• Company culture matters. A side-effect of social media was an
increase in Generation Z’s social drive.
• Rainmaker Thinking found that the top “need,” in a company for
Generation Z was the culture. Last place? Pay.
• Pay less, spend the savings on coffee machines, company trips,
and upgrading the office. It will pay off.

5. Curiosity drives them
• Generation Z chooses their field because it interests them.
• 83% said they chose a career path because they were very
interested in the field.
• In comparison, only 39% said that potential compensation made
them choose.
• Let Generation Z be curious, explore interests and new
technologies. If you can afford it, give employees time and
money to work on personal projects that relate to the company,
(that’s how Gmail was created.)

6. They will be entrepreneurial
• Generation Z knows they are small in comparison to the greater
world. A big driver of what they do is based on a want to have an
impact. The path they see to this is through entrepreneurship.
• 76% of Gen Z respondents indicated they wanted to own a
business. Why? They believed this was the path to having an
impact.
• Let them start offshoots, extra projects, and derive new business
they can own.
