"[Gen Z] have grown up with technology. They've grown up in a very different way than some of the other generations in the organization. They bring with them new ideas, new perspectives, curiosity. They're pushing us to get better and to do things differently-I think it's great."
"We're not siloed by generation or tenure, the senior leaders at Colgate want to hear ideas and thoughts from the more junior employees. It's how we get better, because as you get more senior, you can get further away. So it's important for all of us to stay close, connected, and to learn from each other-regardless of the role."
High-profile criticism labeled Gen Z workers as disengaged, but Colgate-Palmolive's CHRO highlights Gen Z ambition and strong technology skills. Colgate values the generation's new ideas, perspectives, and curiosity as drivers of improvement and innovation. The company employs 34,000 people across four generations and is addressing intergenerational divides by changing traditional chains of command. Senior leaders are actively soliciting input from junior staff to keep decision-making connected to fresh viewpoints. Colgate emphasizes cross-generational collaboration and direct idea flow to enhance performance and ensure harmony among employees of different tenures.
