Chipotle is planning to hire 19K employees in preparation for its “burrito season.” To attract Gen Z especially, the company is offering improved benefits and even launching an employee assistance program. Alongside financial incentives, such as a student loan match program, the brand is increasing access to mental health resources and providing tools for employees to manage their financial wellness and build credit. The company is emphasizing the importance of empowering their employees and adapting to their needs as it expands. YPulse’s Employment and Career Goals data shows that for any future job, Gen Z is looking for good pay, good benefits, and an ability to maintain good mental health—so this is how they want employers to set the bar.
