Why Gen Z won’t put up with diversity dishonesty at work
Summary
Within the Eurozone, almost a third of workers want to work from home more frequently than their employer allows them to, according to a European Central Bank study, and they are willing to change jobs to achieve their goals, too. An overlooked, but by no means less impactful shift is happening too thanks to the effect that younger workers are having on the companies and organisations they work for. Generation Z, a cohort born between 1997 and 2012, currently makes up 30% of the world’s population, according to the World Economic Forum, and is expected to account for 27% of the workforce by 2025. Gen Z employees have very different ideas about the way they want to work, too. According to Deloitte’s 2023 Gen Z and Millennial Survey, less than half of Gen Zs (48%) believe business is having a positive impact on society, and 60% believe businesses have no ambition beyond wanting to make money.
