How to Develop a Strong Work Ethic

Featuring: Josh Davies, CEO, The Center for Work Ethic Development

Work ethic remains one of the most in-demand qualities in today’s workforce, yet its definition and development are often misunderstood. Josh Davies, CEO of The Center for Work Ethic Development, offers research-backed insights into the seven foundational skills that define work ethic across industries, generations, and geographies. From Gen Z to older workers, work ethic is not fixed—it can be cultivated through clarity, training, and accountability.

The conversation explores how employers and workforce professionals can instill stronger habits, create intentional engagement strategies in hybrid environments, and model the behaviors they expect from employees.

You’ll hear insights on…

  • The seven core skills that define modern work ethic

  • Why generational stereotypes often misrepresent reality

  • How early work experience—or the lack of it—impacts Gen Z

  • What Gallup data reveals about engagement in remote vs. hybrid work

  • Why modeling behavior is the key to instilling workplace accountability
