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

When we dove into the idea of unpacking societal stressors on the youngest generation entering the workforce here on The Generational View podcast, our intent was to promote intergenerational understanding and create an overall more efficient workplace environment with that newly found connection. What we actually found is that this powerful generation has a lot to say, when given a safe platform to speak on. So we will continue our journey on the What Gen Z Wants series of The Generational View podcast to hear just what they have to say…   If you missed the last conversations with LatinX and API GenZs, head to The Generational View podcast website at www.thegenerationalview.com to catch up on this and other previous episodes.
