#18 Podcast De Onweerstaanbare Werkgever

February 5 2024

Do you, as an employer, feel the impact of the younger generation? From the Millennials and the so-called Gen Z? From their high demands on you as an employer, their selectiveness in work and employment conditions? Then this episode is for you.

In this episode of my podcast "The Irresistible Employer," Sandra van Beest-Otten, expert in 'making an impact with your work,' sheds light on the perspective of the twenties and thirties who are now entering the job market and seeking meaning in their work.

Why are they doing this? Perhaps because, unlike previous generations, they no longer find that meaning in church or community.

What gets you out of bed as an employee? How can you, as an employer or manager, ensure that your people are passionate and will run for the cause? That's what this conversation is about, and Sandra provides three ingredients for it.

What I find exciting is how Sandra connects two worlds with her initiative of payroll giving or wage donation: supporting 'soft' charities and 'hardcore' business efficiency. It's just very clever!

- Charities are truly helped.

- More money is raised because it's so easy.

- Employees are happy and proud. Giving money to those who need it more than you has been shown to have a positive effect on your well-being.

- Employers who facilitate this become very attractive to people who, in addition to being committed to an organization's core business, consider it important to make a positive impact and make the world a little more beautiful.
