This bachelor thesis addresses the question: “What does the new generation of employees really want from its employers and what impact do these employers’ preferences have on human resource management (HRM)?” This research was conducted to obtain an overview of what the new generation wants, what companies want and how these preferences have an impact on HRM departments. The relevance of this research is based on the fact that in recent years the world of work has undergone a fundamental change. Employees and companies demand new skills. Generations X, Y and Z also have an influential role here. Each human resources (HR) department in each company will be able to properly handle different generations, making businesses more effective and efficient.
