Gen Z and Millennials are different from prior generations because they have deeply embedded values learned from the trials and tribulations of those who came before them. They also may not have the same opportunities so things will change. Thus, with more thoughtful leadership at the top we can fully engage the next batch of American workers, inventors, and social advocates.
This generation has seen some improvement in their perceptions of employers and they do so based on their unique needs. The report highlights how companies can engage these groups for employment if they to maximize their human talent contributions and influence of positive values of improving society.
(Different generations bring different values. During our generation we wobbled on certain challenges but this generation has the making of one that will reorient to a higher standard of societal values and improve human capital competitiveness.)
The following optimistic leaning information was quoted as highlights from the Deloitte 2023 Gen Z and Millennial Survey
-Gen Zs and millennials believe employers have made progress in a number of areas since pre-pandemic times.-This year, approximately one-third of Gen Zs and millennials in full- or part-time work reported that they are very satisfied with their work/life balance, compared to only one in five in 2019.
-Satisfaction with workplace flexibility is also on the rise. There has been a steady increase in satisfaction with employers’ efforts around DEI since 2019. And respondents are now more likely to be very satisfied with their organization’s societal impact.
-More Gen Zs (19%) and millennials (17%) now strongly agree that large companies are taking substantive action to protect the environment, a slight improvement since 2019.
-While these positive trends show Gen Zs and millennials are slightly more satisfied with their own employers, they are not convinced that business more broadly is having a positive impact.
