Gen Z Prioritize Savings and Financial Literacy
Gen Z workers say they take a “forward-looking approach” to money and savings, notes research from The Standard.
According to the findings, 79% of Gen Zers describe saving as their top goal, while 80% say they value working for an employer who provides support for financial literacy.
Furthermore, previous research shows this age group is looking for employers to provide traditional benefits like retirement plans and life insurance, as well as financial coaching.
“Gen Z employees want transparency. They need help when it comes to their future, enrolling in benefits and knowing what their options are,” said one Millennial-aged manager at a healthcare company with over 2,500 employees, who was surveyed by The Standard.
