Working in corporate is not for the faint-hearted. While boomers and millennials dominated the workspace, Gen Z is taking over and evidently making their mark. This generation may have its quirks, but they surely bring a lot to the table. From their deep emphasis on mental health to their tech-savvy working techniques, one thing is certain—Gen Z is here to make things bigger and better.
Here’s all that millennials can learn from Gen Z, especially in the workplace.
Reject the hustle culture
Learn to maintain work-life balance
Once people kickstart their careers, they become consumed by long office hours and struggle to carve out time for themselves and their loved ones. This is an unhealthy habit that diminishes one’s personal well-being and identity. As mentioned before, Gen Z excels at maintaining a work-life balance. They value ‘me’ time, refuse monotonous routines without breaks, and prioritise rest and relaxation, which is not to take away from the fact that they are incredibly dedicated and hard-working.
Be open-minded and adaptable
Gen Z might have a complex relationship with the internet, but they excel in leveraging technology. They have a natural affinity for technology and are adept at using tools like chatbots, cloud-based AI, and other advanced technologies to boost productivity and efficiency. They are also open-minded and adaptable, allowing them to quickly integrate new tools and methods, making them versatile in dynamic work environments. Clearly, they have a lot to offer and that’s something to learn from them.
