what does gen-z want in the workplace
Gen-Z are opposed to the idea of being chained to their work desk from 9 to 6. Gen-Zs want to have the opportunity, flexibility and autonomy on when and how they want to work. Having the control over how they do and deliver their work gives them a sense of ownership.
However, the expectation on work flexibility should not be confused with general unwillingness to put in effort in work. Being hardworking, enthusiasm and motivation to learn are some of the characteristics of Generation-Z in the workplace. Therefore, managers must be able to provide young workers with resources and guidance to help them develop professionally, and check-in with them regularly to avoid having to deal with office burnout.
More and more companies are also starting to offer robust employee benefits and new initiatives that will appeal to younger workers. These new incentives are usually aimed at promoting a healthier lifestyle to increase productivity and creativity.
key highlights of the 2020 gen-z employer brand report:
- employee benefits that will help drive work productivity
- fostering a sense of togetherness
- creating work opportunities that are aligned with the gen-z’s purpose and values
- learning and development for generation-z workers
