Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Gen Z now makes up the fastest-growing part of your workforce — and most managers still hire, onboard and lead them the same way they did a decade ago. It isn't working.

The result is painful and expensive: young hires who ghost your offers, quit in the first 90 days, disengage in meetings and leave for a competitor over a single bad week. Every departure resets your recruiting spend, drains your team and lands back on HR's desk. Meanwhile AI has quietly rewritten how the best companies source, screen, onboard and retain people — and the gap between teams that use it and teams that don't grows every month.

This course closes that gap. You'll stop guessing what Gen Z wants and start running a clear, AI-powered HR system across the entire employee lifecycle — from an employer brand they actually choose, to recruiting and onboarding that move faster, to feedback, rewards, learning and retention analytics that keep them. By the end you'll manage Gen Z with confidence instead of frustration, with a concrete 10-step roadmap to roll it out in your own company.

You're learning this from Mike Pritula — Udemy's #1 HR instructor, with 1.6M+ enrollments and 150,000+ HR professionals trained. Mike holds PHRi and SHRM-CP certifications, represents HRCI in 10+ countries, and built the HR system of unicorn Preply, with experience at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank.

The path is practical. First you decode the Gen Z profile and build an EVP that attracts them. Then you rebuild recruiting and onboarding around AI so hiring is faster and new joiners stay. Next you install continuous feedback and a Total Rewards package they value. After that you modernize L&D with microlearning and use predictive analytics to stop turnover before it happens. Finally you pull it together into day-to-day management habits and a full HR strategy roadmap.

What's included:

Lifetime access to all course materials
Active instructor support in the Q&A
Udemy Certificate of Completion
Practical assignments and real business cases

The price rises as more students enroll, and your competitors are already building these skills. Every month without a system for Gen Z is another month of missed hires, avoidable turnover and lost engagement. Enroll now and start your first lesson today.

Recruiters and talent-acquisition specialists hiring young talent
Team leads and managers with Gen Z employees on their teams
