About this episode

The episode discusses the unique work habits of Gen Z and how managers can better engage this generation.

Gen Z workers are often labelled as unmotivated, entitled or unwilling to commit. Are these stereotypes fair or do they reflect a workplace that has fundamentally changed? Nat Fetalvero speaks with CNA TODAY columnist and founder of Protocol Kelvin Kao, and his Gen Z intern Ashlee Low on what drives this generation in the workplace.
