Talent Unlocked – The Gen Z opportunity for SME’s

This webinar ended on 11 June 2025.
Forget what you’ve heard about Gen Z being lazy, disengaged, or hard to hire.
The reality? They’ve just posted the biggest wage leap in the country – and they’re quietly reshaping the workforce from the ground up.
In this first session of our new Talent Unlocked webinar series, we’ll unpack why Gen Z might just be your smartest investment – and how small businesses can attract, engage, and retain this ambitious generation.
Backed by the latest wage and employment insights from Employment Hero’s Jobs Report, this conversation will challenge the stereotypes and spotlight the real opportunity Gen Z presents to your businesses.
Join Employment Hero’s Kate Jolly, Global Head of Talent, and David Holland, Managing Director of Talent Solutions, as they dive into the below:
- Gen Z isn’t quiet quitting; they’re quiet conquering
- Why SMEs are Gen Z’s ideal employers
- How to tailor your EVP for a Gen Z audience
- Why workplace culture and flexibility is a non-negotiable for Gen Z
- Why digital convenience is a dealbreaker – not a bonus
- How to turn short-term hires into long-term gains
- Poly-employment: what is it, and what does it mean for you?
Whether you’re scaling your team or rethinking retention, this session will give you the data and direction to attract Gen Z job seekers and create employment that’s a win-win for both of you. You’ll walk away with fresh insights and practical strategies designed to help position your business as a top choice for the next generation of talent.
