Tropilite Foods
Gen Z wants more than jobs—they want belonging. Is your HR tuned in?
A Gen Z hire told me they don’t just want a job; they want to belong. This changed how I see recruitment. In FMCG, we obsess over speed and volume but forget that belonging isn’t a benefit it’s a verb. It’s the hiring manager who listens, the 1:1 after a tough day, and onboarding that feels like a welcome. At places like HUL, Coca-Cola & Tropilite, HR is evolving with mental wellness hours and culture coaches. Is your HR building roles or emotional resonance? Share one thing your company is doing to make people feel safe in fast-moving environments. #FMCG #CareerGrowth #HRTrends #PeopleFirst #Belonging #EmotionalLeadership
