As Gen Z rapidly becomes a dominant force in the workforce, Ontario’s local governments must evolve to meet their unique values, communication styles, and career expectations. Supporting this shift is a key focus of AMO’s Workforce Development Project, which aims to help municipalities build stronger pipelines and retain top talent in the sector. This insightful webinar will equip municipal leaders, HR professionals, and team managers with the tools and strategies needed to effectively engage, motivate, and retain Gen Z talent. Learn how to bridge generational gaps, foster inclusive environments, and unlock the full potential of this dynamic generation.

Why This Matters:
Hiring and retaining Gen Z talent presents new challenges for municipal employers. This generation prioritizes purpose over paycheck, flexibility over tradition, and digital fluency over hierarchy. Many organizations struggle to adapt their recruitment and management practices to meet these expectations, leading to high turnover, disengagement, and missed opportunities. Understanding what drives Gen Z is no longer optional, it's essential for building a resilient and future-ready workforce.
Key takeaways: 

• Actionable Insights into Gen Z’s core values, motivations, and workplace expectations
• Retention Strategies that align with Gen Z’s desire for purpose, growth, and flexibility
• Leadership Approaches that foster trust, collaboration, and innovation
• How can Work Integrated Learning and Co-op help in understanding the new generation
