Gen Z Will Expose Your Toxic Work Culture | Preeti Bahuguna - Senior HR Director at The First Group.

Описание: Gen Z aren’t “difficult”. They’re just done accepting what previous generations tolerated.

In this week’s episode of Out of Office, Preeti Bahuguna, Senior HR Director at The First Group, challenges the way organisations are thinking about the next generation of talent. From mental health and setting boundaries to employer branding and why culture is now a deal breaker, this is a conversation both leaders and candidates needs to hear.

Preeti shares what she’s seeing first hand in the Middle East job market and why Gen Z won’t wait years to feel respected or valued, but demand it from day one. And if your workplace doesn’t align with their values, they will not hesitate to leave.

Mark and Preeti chat about:
↳ Why mental health at work is not a buzzword
↳ What Gen Z actually expects from employers
↳ Why culture fit now outweighs pure technical experience
↳ How employer branding on LinkedIn directly impacts hiring
↳ The role of AI and ATS in modern day recruitment
↳ Why companies must meet Gen Z halfway, not dismiss them

This isn’t a conversation about “kids these days”. It’s about a workforce shift that is already happening. Catch the must listen episode now!
