Supporting and retaining Gen Z talent (Part 2): Work-life balance, communication and wellbeing, 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. 

In part 2, Ellie Gelder is joined once again 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. 

We discuss:

• The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Gen Z talent and how employers can support them overcome these challenges;
• The importance of work-life balance and flexible working;
• How to provide and receive constructive feedback;
• Navigating generational differences in communication styles and preferences; and
• Mental health and wellbeing in relation to Gen Z.

You can also listen to part 1 of our mini-series: Supporting and retaining Gen Z talent (Part 1): Myths and opportunities, with Rose Sellman-Leava and Laura Verrecchia.
