Gen Z

Generation Z is a demographic cohort following the millennials. There are no official dates for the generation, but it's generally agreed that Gen Z starts from 1996 onwards.

How to describe Gen Z? They tend to be more realistic than optimistic — they have less trust in institutions like government or religion than previous generations did at their age. They are the first generation of digital natives, as they were born into a world where technology was already ubiquitous. They also have more or less grown up with it, unlike millennials who had to adapt to it later in life.

Millennials and Gen Z are two generations who are separated in age by a mere decade. What is the difference between Millennials and Generation Z?

The first one has been described as a «my way or the highway» generation. They value independence over all else, and most prefer working alone to being part of a team. The second one has been exposed to technology since birth and grew up in an era of fast-paced change and global connectivity. This makes them more likely than their millennial counterparts to seek out and want feedback from others. In fact, they even prefer working with people at different levels within an organization rather than just alongside them.

Gen Z is more entrepreneurial than previous generations. They are willing to start their own businesses at a young age, which is why many employers will find them valuable for freelance work.

What are Generation Z's characteristics as workers? They prefer working with teams rather than alone. This makes sense because most of them were raised in homes where their parents worked as a team on household chores and daily tasks like cooking dinner or taking care of the kids. So if your company has opportunities for teamwork, especially within departments such as marketing or human resources, then this could be a good fit for Gen Z!

First, think about who is Generation Z. They are the new generation going into the workforce now, and they are completely different than millennials, so you need to adjust your hiring and management process to attract them.

• Even though Gen Z have the same goals as their predecessors, they're more likely to change jobs frequently and switch careers. 
• They're less likely to stay with one employer forever, which means that they may not view the opportunity to work with a specific firm as very valuable.
• Gen Z is also more independent when it comes to finding work on their own without having been recruited by an employer. This means that you may need to reach out directly rather than rely on your company's existing hiring procedures and processes if you want Gen Z on your team. 
• They are more likely to seek employment with companies that promote diversity and inclusion, and also they want their employers to adapt to new technologies, but they also want a human connection at work.

Now you know all about Gen Z as workers, and it will help you adapt your work environment to them and get the most out of your collaboration.
