Young workers are struggling with their mental health. Gen Z and millennial employees are missing work, calling in sick, and are sinking into burnout at higher rates than other generations
Only 34% of global workers describe themselves as “thriving” according to a new report from workplace analytics company Gallup—down one percentage point from the year prior. But the proportion of staffers under the age of 35 who say they’re thriving dropped to 31% in 2023, compared to 35% the year before. That means that young employees have the lowest percentage of flourishing workers, and have also experienced the biggest drop in morale. About 20% of global staffers surveyed also said they felt lonely, compared to 22% of staffers under 35, according to the report.
