Hey, #LinkedIn community! ๐ย I was fortunate enough to be featured in this fantastic article by Forage: ๐ง๐ผ๐ฝ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ (๐ถ๐ณ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐โ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฟ)
Generation Z is coming into the workforce with new priorities than previous generations and looking for companies that meet their standards. So, what are the top companies to work for if youโre Gen Z? We found companies that best match different Gen Z values and asked career experts how to find a company thatโs right for you.
Gen Z Top Companies to Work For
Gen Z values sustainability, diversity, equity, and inclusion, work-life balance, career growth, and a high salary. Here are the best companies to work for in each of these categories.
My take:
Use a Wide Variety of Sources
Now that you know more about what youโre looking for, itโs time to research companies that match your priorities. When researching a company, thereโs a lot more to look at than just theirย LinkedInย โ hereโs where to search.
News Articles
Matthew Warzel, certified professional resume writer and former Fortune 500 recruiter, recommends looking at two types of news articles: the companyโs own articles and industry publications articles.
โCompany news articles and press releases can reveal the companyโs recent developments, leadership changes, and involvement in the community,โ he says. โThese resources provide insights into the companyโs direction, priorities, and commitment to social responsibility.โ
Next, industry publications can โoffer in-depth analysis of the companyโs financial performance, market position, and competitive landscape,โ Warzel says. โUnderstanding the companyโs business context can help you assess its stability, growth potential, and impact on the industry.โ
A simple Google search will usually work to find articles about a specific company. Type in the company name, then navigate to the โNewsโ tab to see recent articles that mention the company.
Company Careers Pages
Career pages are one of the best places for a company to advertise. Often, theyโll โfeature videos, blog posts, and employee testimonials that showcase theย companyโs cultureย and values,โ Warzel says.
While these pages are essentially advertisements, you can parse a lot of information from what the company showcases on these pages.
โMany companies publicly share their total rewards andย benefitsย information, which will show you what companies are investing in,โ Royal says. โThis can tell you a lot about whether they are putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to culture. If they say diversity and inclusion are important, for instance, do they offer any paid parental leave? Are same-sex partners of associates eligible for benefits?โ
