In this segment of the Recruitment Mentors podcast, host Hishem Azzouz discusses with a guest (Speaker B) the preferences of younger employees regarding office work. Both agree that many young professionals are eager to be in the office because it helps them feel part of a team, learn through observation, and gain tangible experience rather than relying on abstract instructions. They also value flexibility—such as being able to work later, take a lunchtime gym break, or adjust start times—while still wanting the social and collaborative benefits of a shared workspace. The guest emphasizes that creating an environment that balances flexibility with in‑person interaction is a key responsibility of leadership. The episode includes sponsor acknowledgments for Vincere and Sauce Breaker.

I feel like from the conversations that I've had, typically most young people, like, are leaning towards, like, I'd really like the idea of being in the office more. Yeah. How are you seeing that? Because you speak to a lot of young people and have young people in your business.
Yeah, I think they want to feel part of something. I think, you know, the people that we're hiring, they want to come into the office, they want to learn, they want to see it. Because a lot of time it's blind faith in recruitment, a lot of time, because you're doing something because someone's telling you to do it.
Yeah.
But until you see it happen, sometimes you go, oh, I get it now. So So I think they want to be able to go to the gym at lunchtime.
Yeah.
Come in at 11 because they've got something to do. Yeah. I think they want the flexibility, but they definitely want to be together. My job is to create an environment where you can do that. I'm all for make the decisions that suit you, right?
