There is a great deal of research on the subject of talent retention, which is an increasing concern for organizations in order to combat turnover, demotivation, a bad environment, unproductivity and even losses. The resources possessed by companies, be they financial, material, technological or others, are no longer permanent and given the highly competitive context in which the labor market finds itself, companies have to adapt and rethink how to satisfy the needs of their employees. In line with this, we are studying a generation, GenZ, with very specific characteristics that lead them to be more informed, more demanding and less averse to change. It is also important to consider new ways of working that have emerged, such as the hybrid or 100% online regime, which has led to the emergence of new needs. Contrary to previous generations, who prioritized salary, this generation tends not to want to replicate this lifestyle, and new values have emerged such as flexible working hours, work/life balance or even recognition and appreciation of work. Using a qualitative approach and interviews, the study investigates the resources a company must have for a young Portuguese person to want to work there and remain motivated and productive. Through the perceptions of 16 young people from different backgrounds, we were able to outline a pattern of the needs and resources valued by generation Z.
