Show Notes

In today’s episode:

  • Jessica and John discuss Suzy Welch's op-ed, ⁠Is Gen Z Unemployable?⁠
  • Gen Z workers prefer self-care, authenticity, altruism, affluence, and beauty.
  • Companies want them to value achievment, learning, and "an unbridled desire to work."
  • These studies about generational stereotypes are, largely, nonsense. When asked directly, most people have pretty good kids with diverse traits who are trying to get by.


CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the week's biggest news, unpack hot-button workplace trends, and bring you exclusive interviews with leaders who leverage culture to drive real business results.

John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica every week to discuss the latest news in labor, employment, and workplace culture by asking each other the question: 'What Are You Paying Attention To Now?'
