Why Gen Z Quits So Quickly and What Managers Can Do About It

Why is Gen Z quitting so quickly and sometimes within the first few months on the job?

It’s not always about laziness, entitlement, or lack of commitment. A real issue? It's broken onboarding.

In this episode of Handled by The Y Variable, I’ll walk you through:

• Why most onboarding is just a checkbox exercise (and why it fails Gen Z)

• The Impact-First Onboarding Framework, which shows how to give new hires a voice, connect them with peers, and take advantage of strategic check-ins

• Real-world translations of manager phrases that confuse Gen Z and what to say instead

• Success milestones every new hire should hit in their first 30 days

If you’re a manager, HR leader, or team lead, etc. this episode will give you practical tools to keep your early-career hires engaged, productive, and motivated.
