Henry Rose Lee – What does Gen Z want from a career?

Known as the Generation Game Changer, Henry Rose Lee researches, consults and speaks about every generation in today’s workforces, from those who are just starting work, to people in their mid-career, and through to those workers whose career is maturing. Henry advises clients on the key themes of each generation at work – from attraction and recruitment to engagement and retention. She also consults on how best to embrace the new normal of remote, flexible and hybrid work, and how to get the best out of every generation, whatever their age and job role.
