Newsnation – 1 in 6 companies in the United States are undecided about hiring recent college graduates, based on the study of Business Leaders, reported that Generation Z also known as the Zoomers shows no motivation and initiative.
According to The Intelligence.com, “survey found that 75% of companies reported some or all of the recent college graduates they hired this year were unsatisfactory. According to respondents, younger workers are unprepared, unprofessional, and struggle with feedback.”
Jessen James, a self-trained leader and international spokesperson, explained that Gen Z participated many times on electronic devices to demonstrate their interpersonal skills.
“Technology and awareness have a lot of play in this,” James said. “From a technology perspective, there’s so much screentime nowadays where people are not engaging with human beings … (and) when you put them out into the real world … they struggle to communicate. They can’t articulate themselves. They don’t know how to interact.”
James explained the important role of education and how it helps them to be well-prepared for the workplace.
“We need to show them not just the interaction and skills they need, but also teach them emotional resilience because it’s a tough world out there and it’s called life,” said James.
You should not blame Gen Z for certain circumstances, however, some researchers reported that younger generations express less corporate bonds after receiving full-time job positions.
