Gen Z in Manufacturing: The Best Age to Make First Contact with Prospective Workers

Eric Sorensen

Welcome to another episode of Gen Z in Manufacturing, a podcast that asks young people about their journeys in manufacturing, how they intend to influence the industry and what they are looking for from an employer.

For this episode, I welcome Hannah Dannecker, a 26-year-old managing partner at Better Together Group, a collection of companies that focus on supplying support and tools to staffing companies. Additionally, Dannecker serves as a board member for the Women’s Trucking Federation of Canada.

In this episode, Dannecker discusses:

  • A fact about Gen Z that always surprises older generations (1:07)
  • How to gain young workers’ trust (5:18)
  • Helping Gen Z get over imposter syndrome (9:12)
  • The ideal age to begin engaging young talent (15:26)
