#MotivationMonday with #Repost from Mark Beal, MA: "Higher Education Is An Ideal Industry For Gen Zers To Start Their hashtag #Careers: What New Grads Should Know." As a cohort, Generation Zers are known to value authenticity, and they are eager to engage in work that they deem important. "hashtag #GenerationZ is the 'Purpose Generation.' They are looking to become customers of brands and employees of companies that prioritize purpose," Mark Beal, MA, professor...writes in his book "Gen Z Graduates into Adulthood." Mental health is especially important to Gen Zers. Beal writes: "Mental health, once a taboo topic, is of the utmost importance to hashtag #GenZ... When we look back 15-20 years from now, I believe Generation Z will receive credit for transforming mental health into a mainstream conversation in school, at work, and in popular culture that will never go away. They will encourage more hashtag #employers to offer mental health benefits, including mental health days." https://lnkd.in/et8Y3bAk
