Just talk to them, early career/college career fairs & networking events (or set up by ur company if u dont have the budget to attend) a good place to start if you dont have many gen z employees at your company. and maybe dont read books about gen z by people that are not gen z :)

Not directly about leading Gen Zers but more about how they think : I thought Zconomy was fascinating. Being a “millenial” I didn’t think we’d be so different, but we really are.. https://www.amazon.com/Zconomy-Jason-Dorsey/dp/0062970291/ref=asc_df_0062970291_nodl?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459680637280&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16911877250001640556&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032443&hvtargid=pla-942539056226&psc=1&dplnkId=293129c1-1eeb-4a1a-a278-0a2dc31eae30

Awesome. Thank you for sharing.

Generation Z: A Century in the making by Dr. Corey Seemiller and Meghan Grace

Talk to a parent of a teen-adult! They know.

Try Gen Z @ Work. It is written by David Stillman ( who has written other books focused on working with different generations) and his 17yr old son. Some really good insight and could help with what you're looking for. https://www.amazon.com/Gen-Work-Generation-Transforming-Workplace/dp/0062475444

Also, check out Managing Generation Z by Robin Paggi and Kat Clowes. I personally found this one very useful and helped me to develop some training programs around the idea. https://www.amazon.com/Managing-Generation-Recruit-Onboard-Workplace/dp/1610354001/ref=pd_lpo_1?pd_rd_i=1610354001&psc=1

Need some advice/ thoughts: a year ago the the person I thought it was the love of my life dumped me. She went radio silent and hasn’t spoken to me since.

About three weeks ago people stated posting summer get together pics and she didn’t comment on any of them. And then another classmate posted a Muslim holiday post…no comment. And she always comments on those. Continue:

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

I also help cover HR tasks, have my SHRM, 5 years of HR exp., and 2 degrees. Is the "value" for recruiters more than L&D? I feel a little taken advantage of, but want to know if I'm off base here.

I’m an HR Generalist. My job is a mix of recruitment and Employee Relations. I find the recruitment aspect to be pretty enjoyable and stress free, but the Employee Relations aspect does often give me a lot of anxiety (I’m a very anxious person to begin with).

If so, how do you manage them?

Hi! I interviewed for an HRBP position and the interview process lasted 6 weeks. I met with several people within the company. I provided my salary range in my initial interview and it was in range. I was provided a verbal offer and it was at the bottom of my range. I negotiated a sign on bonus and then the hiring manager said they wanted to down grade the position to a AHRBP with the same salary and sign on. The in house Recruiter called last week that the base will now be 15k less. Thoughts?
