Forward-Looking Practices to Onboard Generation Z at Entry-Level

Forward-Looking Practices to Onboard Generation Z at Entry Level depicts the doctoral study of Dr. Assefa Belay Wondim conducted at Capella University. The doctoral study is about the identification of a set of forward-looking practices to effectively onboard Gen Z new employees at the entry-level as viewed by a nationwide panel of human resource policy experts and the determination of the extent to which there was a consensus of opinion among these experts as to the desirability, feasibility, and importance of these practices.

The outcome and findings of the project could have significance for practitioners and business organizations engaged in onboarding Gen Zs, as well as for the body of knowledge in the field of HRM.

The project findings could serve as a blueprint on how to manage the talent of Gen Zs by understanding and aligning the work needs, values, and expectations of Gen Zs for onboarding with organizational onboarding practices. The talent management of Gen Z might, through effective onboarding practices, contribute to a reduction in employee turnover, which, in turn, could result in onboarding cost reduction and an increase in productivity for the organization.

Although the doctoral study findings primarily relate to the IT industry, the project outcomes could also be applied to other business organizations to minimize employee turnover, reduce onboarding costs, and increase new hires' productivity. The utility of the consensus-based desirable and feasible solutions may go beyond onboarding Gen Z new employees. The experts have expressed their 100% confidence in the utility of the consensus-based desirable and feasible solutions for onboarding new employees across generations.
