With the competitive and fast-moving nature of the retail environment in the modern day, organizations are particularly concerned with managing and understanding a new generation of employees—Generation Z (ages 1997 to 2012). Gen Z is a distinctive generation characterized by their digital literacy, need for purposeful work, appreciation for diversity and inclusion, and expectation of immediate feedback and opportunities for development. With their growing numbers in the labor market, especially in customer-facing markets such as organized retail apparel, HR departments are confronted with the difficulty of transforming conventional practices to their expectations. This study examines successful HR strategies for recruiting, managing, engaging, and retaining Gen Z workers in India's organized apparel retail industry. The industry, characterized by a dynamic work culture, high turnover rate, and seasonal staff demands, needs a future-oriented and responsive HR strategy. This research seeks to determine the behavior and workplace values of Gen Z workers and evaluate the reaction of HR practitioners to these through creative approaches. A descriptive research design was employed, utilizing structured questionnaires administered to HR professionals, line managers, and Gen Z employees in top retail apparel brands like Pantaloons, Reliance Trends, and Max Fashion. The data gathered was processed in percentage terms to identify major trends, without employing stringent statistical tools. Research indicates that Gen Z workers value ongoing learning, adaptability, purposeful work, mental health support, and tech-enabled workplaces. Gamified onboarding, mobile-learning platforms, real-time performance feedback, digital recognition programs, and mental health initiatives were among the most effective HR strategies found. Challenges of generational tensions, communication issues, and short-term employment horizon of Gen Z workers still affect HR initiatives. The research concludes that Gen Z management in the organized retail apparel industry needs a tech-powered, empathetic, and value-driven HR strategy. The capacity to synchronize HR practices with the expectations of Gen Z can bring better job satisfaction, employee retention, and organizational development. The paper also provides actionable insights for HR professionals to increase Gen Z engagement while ensuring a multigenerational workforce mix.
