Making ends meet | Gen Z side hustles are booming - should HR be worried?

According to data from the Close Brothers Financial Index, money worries are now impacting over three quarters of employees.

It’s easy to see why; UK workers are living in a turbulent and unpredictable economy, with energy prices and the cost of basic amenities seemingly going up every day.

It’s therefore unsurprising that the data found that for two in five workers, the constant threat of not having enough money to get them through to payday is an ‘always on’ anxiety.

However not all workers are equally affected by these woes. And, the solutions they find to overcome their financial burdens varies drastically by age range and demographic. For Gen Z, the solution is simply rethinking what a career looks like, and where their time and effort goes.
