In today's HR in Review episode, we explore why and how Gen Z is changing the norms in the workplace. We also explore the key things organisations should learn about this new approach to work.
Guest: Isabel Berwick, host of the Financial Times Working It podcast
Isabel Berwick is the host of the FT's
Working It podcast about the workplace and writes the weekly Working It newsletter. She is the editorial lead for the FT Women in Business Forum, moderates and hosts FT and external events about the workplace and beyond. Her book on the new way of working in a post-pandemic world, The Future-Proof Career, is out now.
Questions for Isabel include:
- Could you outline key differences between the younger generation (Millennials and Gen Z) and older generations (Baby Boomers and Gen X) in terms of workplace expectations and behaviours?
- Do you think organisations will be able to shift to provide training and support for this new emphasis on wellbeing and mental health?
- Why do you think the younger generation places such a high emphasis on this balance and flexibility compared to previous generations?
- In what ways do you think the younger generation has pushed for greater DEI in the workplace, and could you perhaps give us any examples of how organisations have responded?
- What do you think managers can do to retain these younger workers?
