Human Resource Management Strategies to Adapt to The Needs Of Generation Z In The Workplace

Abstract

Generation Z has become a significant part of the workforce, and with their unique characteristics and expectations, they are driving changes in human resource management strategies. Consequently, this phenomenon requires companies to adapt their HR policies and practices to meet the needs of this generation, such as technology-based work environments, career development opportunities, and work flexibility. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 human resource management practitioners and Generation Z employees from various industries. The aim of this study is to identify HR management approaches that can address the needs of Generation Z in the workplace. Data analysis was conducted using thematic methods to uncover key patterns and themes. The findings reveal that organizations should develop strategies such as integrating technology into daily work tasks, creating flexible and inclusive work environments, and offering training and skill development programs tailored to individuals. The study also highlights that clear communication and continuous feedback are essential for fostering engagement among Generation Z. However, the limited sample size and the study's focus on specific fields mean that the findings cannot be fully generalized.
