Mike Ferguson MediaWhy Do Gen Z and Millenial Workers Job Hop So Much?Lebanon Valley College's Dr. Kimberlee Josephson discusses what research shows about younger workers (Millenials and Gen Z) and the fact they are less likely to stay at a job as long as other (older) workers stick around.
The reasons can include a tradional work schedule (as opposed to a flexible one), company culture, and even expectations set by their parents in childhood. This discussion looks at the "why" and also the lessons employers can learn from the research about retaining workers longer.
