Generation Z: How the “Digital-Natives” will Impact the Workplace

Now that millennials are entering the C-suite, it is time to learn a little bit more about the emerging professionals that will eventually take their place. Pew Research Center defines Generation Z, or the Post-Millenials, as those born between 1997 and 2012.

I was proud to be among the group (patting myself on the back) as it was a valuable investment!  Nonprofit HR had the opportunity to partner with Erica M. Roberts,
