What the paper says

Generation Z's integration into the IT workforce necessitates a re-evaluation of traditional onboarding practices to align with their expectations as digital natives.This study investigates generational shifts in onboarding preferences, focusing on the demand for gamification, mobile-first platforms, and virtual tools.Key findings highlight significant gaps in outdated communication methods and insufficient role-specific personalization, which undermine engagement and retention.Using an exploratory framework grounded in scholarly and industry literature, the research emphasizes the critical need for IT firms to adopt innovative, technology-driven onboarding strategies.By addressing these gaps, organizations can enhance employee satisfaction, reduce attrition, and foster long-term loyalty.This study contributes to academic discourse and managerial practices by offering actionable recommendations for tailoring onboarding processes to meet the evolving needs of a talent-centric workforce.
