What Gen Z Wants: Latinx Gen Zers Talk Workplace & Societal Expectations

Welcome, welcome, welcome everyone! We’ve finally made it to season 2! If you’re hearing this right now after journeying with us through Season 1, I’m so thankful and thrilled to bring you along for this next ride. If your ears are hearing the podcast for the first time, then an extra welcome goes to you. You’re in for a very special treat!

 

As we start a new season, we’re wrapping up the year of 2021. That means there’s less than four years remaining until the passionate and motivated GenZers will make up a full quarter of the global workforce. If we provide them with a platform to sound off about issues of importance to them, and allow a safe space to do so, we can help the leaders of today better connect with the leaders of tomorrow.
