Gen Zers are largely resisting the push for full-time return-to-office (RTO) policies, with many favoring remote work. A survey indicated that 17% of this demographic wishes to work from home all the time, and 24% prefer to work remotely most of the time. Leaders are often out of touch, lacking empathy and trust, which complicates the situation for middle managers caught in the middle. To navigate the RTO debate, workplace experts suggest that middle managers should promote flexibility and trust, essential for engaging Gen Z talent effectively.
«For Gen Z, full-time office work can feel like employers are putting a limit on their independence. When employees feel trusted and valued for what they deliver, not just where they work, they'll show up in a bigger way.»
«Transparency and trust are key. Gen Zers seem to value honesty and get frustrated by inconsistent messaging, as they have not experienced traditional work norms.»
