At BDO we are committed to helping the natural resources industry thrive in this time of challenge and need. As recruitment pressures grow, now is the right time to dispel the myths and misconceptions that are turning young people away from a career in the mining and oil and gas sectors.
This research report is designed to help us all better understand how to address Gen Z’s scepticism head on. We highlight what factors matter most to Gen Z when assessing their career options, and what talent acquisition and retention strategies could help natural resources companies position themselves as employers of choice.
