This report from the Oliver Wyman Forum examines what makes Gen Z tick and the changes they are bringing. It reveals that in the workplace, Gen Z want to work for globally aware companies that provide the flexibility, autonomy, and work-life balance they seek. A large proportion of Gen Zers already are fashioning work for themselves that fits what they want, on their own terms: today, 45% of them have side hustles. With Gen Z expected to account for nearly a third of the workforce by 2030, the report emphasises that employers must raise their game to recruit and retain the best and the brightest. While covering the basics - pay, growth opportunities, better work-life balance, transparency - is a start, so too is prioritising their health, offering career optionality and initiatives that help them find personal fulfilment at work, and nurturing their entrepreneurial spirit.
