LONDON Mar 24, 2022 - SHL, the global leader in people science and technology, and The Adecco Group, a global Human Resources provider and temporary staffing firm, released a study that explains how GenerationZ can offer unique skills that have been deemed critical to overcoming the waves of change that companies are experiencing today.
SHL’s Graduate Hiring Solution was the cornerstone of the study that employed the profiles of young leaders who applied for Adecco Group’s CEO for One Month program. The study gained insight using SHL’s situational judgment test (SJTs) to demonstrate this cohort’s workplace behaviors including their ability to initiate action, work with people, network, innovate, deliver results for customers, and adapt to change. It found that GenZ’s cognitive diversity - the difference among us due to our life experiences, worldview, and how we process information - can be leveraged for high potential and leadership positions in the future.
“The current business ecosystem is witnessing the brilliance of young leaders. Their unique skills are critical for overcoming the workplace challenges in the post-covid world. We know from this study that Gen Z can offer sound, creative, and well researched outputs.” said Matt Kirk, Solutions Owner for Talent Acquisition at SHL.
The surveyed group included candidates from 42 countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Platforms like SHL’s Graduate Hiring solutions can help businesses attract, develop, and retain GenerationZ while benefiting from their diverse mindsets immediately.
