Generation Z does not adapt its life to work

Generation Z does not adapt its life to work

Young people do not tolerate being looked down on by colleagues or disrespected by managers, nor do they tolerate being taken advantage of in the workplace. They prefer to change. Currently, 77% of companies have no strategy to manage intergenerational cooperation and generational change, and only one in two companies are addressing organisational ageing. This is among the findings of a recent generational survey, the main findings of which were presented at the recruiTECH 2025 recruitment conference. HR leaders from several companies also shared at the event what generational challenges and good practices are working in their companies.

It's not about who's done what, it's about what they can do - what is your skills-based HR strategy?

HR leaders see huge potential in giving skills a greater role in HR. However, companies are not at the same level in developing and implementing a comprehensive skills-based strategy, and the objectives may differ, so there is no single recipe. The SAP framework therefore outlines four different approaches to integrating skills into HR strategy and practice.

You have to see it! Hungarian women do two and a half times more invisible work than men

On the first Tuesday of April, World Day of Invisible Work, WHC is raising awareness of those who do the often invisible work that is essential to the functioning of society and the economy. Invisible work includes domestic tasks, childcare, caring for elderly or sick relatives, and volunteer work, most of which is done without remuneration. In Hungary, women spend nearly two and a half times as much time in unpaid work as men, which puts them at a significant disadvantage in terms of career development.

"We're looking for the purple elephant" - or why recruitment is exciting

The professionals shared what recruitment experience has meant in their careers and what challenges they face in their daily work.

Two telecoms companies - Yettel and CETIN Hungary - are taking part in the career guidance programme for the third time. We talked to the HR directors Enikő Szalai and Emőké Erdélyi about the challenges.

"It's not a job for women, it's a man's world"

This statement was heard by 56.4% of women respondents working in the IT sector, according to the No Fluff Jobs survey of women in the IT sector. 35.3% of female respondents believe they earn less than their male colleagues in the same position and job title, with nearly 40% saying they earn the same. This will not be the case for much longer, "as from 2026, an EU directive will come into force, which will limit the difference in pay to 5% for the job, function or skill group in question," said Nóra Kudari, Vice President of Women in Technology Hungary, evaluating the research.

Should we be afraid of AI taking our jobs? Here is the answer

Is artificial intelligence taking our jobs? Should white collar workers be afraid? We asked a job market expert and a futurologist about the short and medium term trends. The answers we received did not reassure us. What seems certain is that there is a lot to learn for workers and that the ability to react quickly will be a winning skill.

Five-generation jobs are coming: how to work well together?

Generational differences can lead to awkward situations, tension and discord, especially in the world of work. Is this necessary? Can the pressure to innovate cause conflict or strengthen cooperation between generations? Should we treat age differences as a problem or an opportunity? This is what generational researcher Krisztián Steigerwald and András Somogyi, Bosch's Regional Vice President HR, talked about in the company's podcast.

Conflict avoidance kills micro-innovation and thus reduces productivity

Everyone knows that productivity can be boosted through innovation: new processes, new technology, new solutions. But when we talk about innovation, we usually think of some radically new idea or the K F area. Little is said about micro-innovations, but they always make things a little better in everyday life. How do you get that through? András Ujváry, trainer at Exline Ltd.

Jöhet a life long skilling!

The role of skills is becoming more important and learning needs to be embedded in the everyday life of a company.

Here's the new term: lifelong skills development, or life-long skilling.

Recruitment

The secrets to successful recruitment in 2025

Companies must constantly adapt to the challenges of a rapidly changing labour market if they are to attract and retain the best talent. Automation and artificial intelligence have taken recruitment to a new level, while the importance of soft skills has increased to unprecedented levels. In addition to candidates for open positions, companies need to focus on passive candidates who respond to specific and personalised requests.

What do you need to do for successful onboarding?

It is important to emphasise that a successful integration process is not only the responsibility of organisations, managers and mentors, but also the role of the new employee.

The mystical market for job ads

Jobseekers believe that at least 80% of the jobs advertised will be filled with the help of job ads. The reality is something very different. Some companies use job ads to monitor the market, recruitment is not necessarily the goal. And there are others where they already have a candidate, an internal one, but they look around to see if there is a better one. Written by Anikó Pethő, HR consultant (Aarenson Consulting).

Relocation

5 important changes in the employment of foreigners

Employers who want to employ foreign colleagues will also have to adapt to a number of changes in 2025. The law on aliens has become stricter, it is not easy to navigate the maze of different types of cards (permits) and to adapt to the changed expectations. We asked Györgyi Cziczárdi, managing director of Expat-Center and relocation expert, about the regulatory changes, which are also challenging for HR.

What explains the labour market reallocation?

Emigration and expatriation are a decades-old phenomenon and have a negative impact on the economy. Why do Hungarians go abroad and why do they come to work in Asia?

Repatriation allowance, wage supplement, tax relief - how to lure Hungarians living abroad back home

In 2023, 770,000 Hungarians will be living abroad - calculated the Egyensúly Institute on the basis of data from the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, Eurostat and the United Nations in its study entitled "How to lure Hungarians who have emigrated abroad back home?". According to the institute, although Hungarians working abroad send 2-3% of Hungary's annual GDP back home, the country could gain even more by luring some of them back.
