#23 - Rethinking Career Commitment Across Generations

About This Episode

Gen Z is shaking up the workplace with a very different approach to careers—and employers are taking notice. A new survey shows nearly half of Gen Z plans to leave their job within a year, with many averaging less than two years in a role. What does this mean for organizations trying to build loyalty, and for young professionals navigating their early careers? Danielle Farage and Mervyn Dinnen dig into the data, exploring why Gen Z is redefining career commitment and how companies can adapt to a workforce that values growth, purpose, and flexibility over long-term tenure. They challenge assumptions about loyalty, discuss the implications for hiring and retention strategies, and consider how leaders can create environments that inspire people to stay. Whether you’re leading a multigenerational team or rethinking your own career path, this conversation offers sharp insights into the future of work—and why the definition of commitment is changing fast.
