Gen Z. The generation who wants it all.
Engaging different generations is a success factor for businesses worldwide. But it also presents companies with new challenges. By 2025, Millennials and Gen Z will make up 75 %* of the workforce. To retain Gen Z in the long term and unlock their full potential, managers need to fully understand them: their behaviours, mindset and values.
Millennials have already created some changes to the established working world, but the most dramatic disruptions will come from the rising Gen Z population.

Gen Z is often branded as the generation who wants it all – at the same time: career development, work-life balance, fair pay, and value alignment. When asked about the role work plays in their life, the figures speak for themselves: 43 % of Gen Z say, that work, and career play a bigger role than their personal life. And while Gen Z is one of the most career-driven generation compared with others, 30 % of Gen Z say, they also want work life balance in their job.
However, flexibility is required to reconcile career and work-life balance. This is why flexibility matters more than anything when Gen Z looks for a new job:
Flexible schedule for personal life
Flexibility in working hours each day
Flexibility in terms of workplace location
Therefore, it is no surprise that 89 %* of Gen Z work in jobs giving them the autonomy to choose their work schedule and location.
