This approach helps young professionals see their progress and growth within the company [1][2][3][4].
Flexible Work Arrangements
Offering hybrid, remote, and flexible schedules is essential for supporting work-life balance and autonomy. Flexibility is often a deal-breaker for Gen Z, significantly increasing job satisfaction and retention [2][3].
Competitive Compensation and Transparency
Ensuring fair, market-aligned pay and clear visibility into compensation bands is crucial. Including benefits such as health coverage, mental health support, and allowances that resonate with younger employees is also important [1][2].
Use of HR Technology
Implementing advanced HR platforms that automate processes, provide 360-degree performance reviews, gather employee feedback via surveys, and enable data-driven insights into diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI&B) is key. These tools help create the personalized and community-focused environments Gen Z seeks [1].
Apprenticeships and Early Engagement
Utilizing apprenticeships as strategic entry points to attract Gen Z talent early, combining hands-on experience with mentorship, enables skills development and a clear path to contribution and advancement [4].
Company Culture and Values
Showcasing authentic company culture through social media and employee stories, emphasizing purpose, diversity initiatives, and mental health programs, helps connect with Gen Z's desire for value-driven employers [2][3].
Demographics and Salaries
In the first quarter of 2025, Gen Z IT job seekers numbered 512,000, or 30% of the total. Both generations (Gen Z and millennials) account for the vast majority (88%) of resumes posted for IT positions. The median salary for young specialists (Gen Z and millennials) in the IT sector is currently 56,200 rubles [5].
A significant number of young IT specialists are choosing startups or freelance projects due to the flexibility of work hours and the opportunity for rapid career advancement [6]. Only 4% of young IT specialists expect a salary of 160,000 to 240,000 rubles per month [7].
Conclusion
By aligning corporate strategies with these priorities, IT companies can build loyalty, reduce attrition, and cultivate a motivated Gen Z workforce who see clear personal and professional growth opportunities [1][2][3][4]. Companies may need to challenge stereotypes and invest in training and resources to effectively communicate with and retain Gen Z talent.
