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?
