Young people entering the workforce today are, by and large, digital natives. They’ve spent their formative years navigating COVID, and this new world of remote work is the only one they’ve ever known. Like every new generation, they’ll have different values, different expectations and different approaches to their careers. So how do you appeal to the next generation of workers?\nIn a tight labor market, this talent pool presents a huge opportunity for companies. But with young workers in high demand, you’ve got to stand out. Understanding what students and graduates want from their employers can give you a big leg up. So, what do young workers value? How can employers attract them? And what do they need to succeed in your workplace?\n\nTo answer these questions, we turned to Linda Johnson, director of employee relations for the Career Center at Culverhouse at the University of Alabama. Linda has been helping college students and companies connect for 15 years. She sees both perspectives. Together, we explore why young workers are a valuable resource, the most effective recruiting methods, and what you can do to help these employees succeed once they’re inside your company.\n\nSo join us as we search for the fountain of youth in a podcast for the ages!\n\nHighlights:\nMeet Linda Johnson (1:49)\nWhy investing in young talent is so important (3:11)\nGen Z strengths (4:54)\nHow U of A teaches students soft skills  (5:47)\nYoung workers want to add value (8:45)\nWhy hybrid work appeals to graduates (9:53)\nConnecting through preferred channels (12:03)\nSuccessful recruiting strategies (13:10)\nWhy companies are recruiting younger (16:18)\nInternships as risk mitigation (17:33)\nHow to set students up for success (18:46)\nGetting started with recruitment (20:35)\n\nLinks:\nCadence Bank Website\nCadence Bank Twitter\nCadence Bank LinkedIn\nLinda Johnson LinkedIn\nUniversity of Alabama - Culverhouse College of Business\nDeloitte - Understanding...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/XzrhyPQL4G1LxZ2ZGulAzOrcYh6dTHctf2s1IcGnWew/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI1NDgxLzE2NjQ5/ODQyNzktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
