Gen Z is often accused of being disengaged in the workplace. Yet, research by Gallup suggests that Gen Z and younger millennial employees (those born in 1989 or later) are not significantly less engaged than employees in other age groups – despite reporting higher levels of stress.
What does set Gen Z apart from older generational cohorts, however, is their rejection of outdated workplace models that don’t fit with the modern age. An EY study across 10 countries, “the first global generation,” highlights that people aged between 18 and 34 are reimagining what it means to be an adult, forcing businesses to reinvent their workplaces in the process.
