The Work Couch: Supporting and retaining Gen Z talent (Part 1): Myths and opportunities, with Rose Sellman-Leava and Laura Verrecchia

Welcome to The Work Couch, the podcast series where we explore how your business can navigate today's tricky people challenges and respond to key developments in the ever-evolving world of employment law.

Following on from our previous episode on supporting and retaining senior talent, we explore how employers can best support and retain Gen Z talent.

Ellie Gelder is joined by Rose Sellman-Leava, Director and Co-Founder of Inclusive Futures, a not-for-profit organisation empowering students from underrepresented groups and disadvantaged backgrounds to enter careers which are right for them, and RPC's Laura Verrecchia, trainee solicitor and resident Gen Z member of the Employment Engagement and Equality team.

In part one, we discuss:

• Common myths and misconceptions associated with Gen Z workers;
• How employers can future-proof their organisation for the next generation;
• Attracting Gen Z talent, including flexible working, social and environmental sustainability, and technology;
• Neurodivergence and mental health; and
  
• How a Gen Z values-based working environment can benefit the whole workforce.

Join us again for part two, when we will discuss work-life balance, communication, and wellbeing in relation to Gen Z talent.
