"NYU professor Suzy Welch recentlyreleased the results of her study on Gen Z and businesses across America. Welch teaches M.B.A. students and attempts to prepare them for a life of purpose and leadership. There's just one problem: their values. Welch's analysis produced an outcome that startled her and her team: A mere 2% of Generation Z members hold the values that companies want most in new hires, which are achievement, learning, and an unbridled desire to work. Generation Z respondents' top three values were:"
"None of these top Gen Z values are bad, but values are choices, and right now, Gen Zers have chosen to push back on the traditional "work ethic" and instead prefer a more "look out for number one" mindset. I must say, I can't always blame them, but for now, employers must figure out how to close the gap between what an organization wants and needs, and what that young potential team member does."
A study found only 2% of Generation Z hold the workplace values employers most desire: achievement, learning, and a strong desire to work. Generation Z ranked self-care and happiness, authentic individuality and voice, and helping others as their top priorities. Many managers still view work through traditional lenses of duty, dependability, and responsibility. Young candidates often approach interviews as mutual negotiations and sometimes assume workplaces will take advantage of them. Employers face a growing gap between organizational needs and Gen Z priorities. One proposed solution is to fundamentally change leadership approaches and job designs for young teammates.
