Generational preferences challenging HR leaders

“This generation appreciates flexibility in their work schedule the most, as well as autonomy within their roles,” Kickresume’s report read.

“Gen X’s main priority is whether their job can fit around their busy family lives, like caring for their young children and ageing parents.”

For Baby Boomers, their top considerations when looking for work include job stability, financial security, as well as a quality healthcare plan.

“This generation is motivated by retirement and healthcare benefits offered by employers, and is the generation least concerned about flexible working,” the report said.
