Nearly two-thirds of Gen Z employees leave their job within the first year, but a recent US study found that when new hires join an organization as a group, employee retention is better. While Gen Z is unlikely to stay in their jobs as long as previous generations, this could be a strategy to hang around longer than they currently do. 鈥淚t's a good way for them to bond with each other, and with the organizations,鈥 says Prof.</p> Fri, 02 May 2025 16:30:51 +0000 admin 148633 at /dobson Tariffs are remaking global supply chains in real time /dobson/channels/news/tariffs-are-remaking-global-supply-chains-real-time-365546 <p>The imposition of tariffs on an ever changing array of products is disrupting global supply chains.
