Generation Z consists of those born between 1995-2012. They are characterized as independent, entrepreneurial yet risk averse. They have a strong sense of social responsibility and are highly technologically proficient, living online rather than just going online. Formative events for Gen Z included 9/11 and the Great Recession. As they enter the workforce, they will bring changes such as a generational gap, a blend of high-touch and high-tech skills, a demand for frequent feedback, and an emphasis on diversity and inclusion. Employers need to adapt workplaces for Gen Z by utilizing new technologies, incentivizing competition, and providing balance between social and solitary work.
