Generation Z (Gen Z) is making their mark on society and how we do things, especially in the workplace. According to Twenge (2024), Generation Z was born between 1995 and 2012 and is currently between 12 and 29 years old. As this group is emerging as the dominant working group over the next few years, prepare to see more and more shifts in expectations in the workplace.
For example, a flexible work schedule will be expected with the ability to work remotely. After watching parents work primarily from home during COVID, it is clear to this group that those capabilities are still there so why not capitalize upon them?! If your company is not willing to offer this reasonably offer this type of flexibility in roles in which it can be incorporated, you will find high turnover with Gen Z.
