Nearly half of Generation Z workers would take a pay cut if it meant more opportunities for upward mobility, according to a May 8 LinkedIn News post.
LinkedIn surveyed 4,060 U.S. professionals between March 22 and April 18. Across generations, fewer than 3 in 10 said they would accept a pay cut for more advancement opportunities.
Several hospital and health system executives recently told Becker’s that Gen Z has a strong interest in early career development and seeks to build career paths early. This has led some health systems to create initiatives that allow early-career employees to explore leadership development.
The survey also found some younger workers are willing to take a pay cut for more workplace flexibility, with 38% of both Gen Z and Millennial respondents agreeing, compared to 32% across generations.
Slightly fewer Gen Z and Millennial employees said they would accept less pay if it meant their company were better aligned with their values.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
