Young Generation Z women rank company values as high as salary. This finding is revealed in the new e-book, Generation Z: The Definitive Guide to the Future Workforce, which is based on a study commissioned by HR tech company Benify and conducted by marketing research company Kantar Sifo exploring what Generation Z want and expect from their future employers.
The 2019 study reveals that, when choosing an employer, Generation Z females rank company values as high as salary, and the majority say they would not work for a company which is not gender equal. These findings support ongoing evidence that strong company values are crucial to attracting this generation.
On the study findings, Ylva Eriksson, PR & Marketing Manager, Benify, says: “Generation Z have been described as idealists, and why shouldn’t they be? In the war for talent, it’s clear that employers need to lead with their values and show this generation what they stand for. This is the era of transparency. This generation want to leave a mark on the world and are on a mission to improve the way things are and their demand for equality is just one of the ways they’re doing this.”
