About a month ago, the Adobe Communications Team released the results of a study that explored
"the career motivations and workplace expectations of Generation Z", which they say is "the generation poised to transform the post-pandemic workforce."
Oddly, I don't see any link on the page to the detailed study results but they do provide a decent summary of the findings. Their methodology is explained as follows:
"Adobe collaborated with Advanis to collect 1,011 responses from U.S. Gen Z (those who are born between 1997 and 2012) who have been working full-time for a medium to large-sized company (750 employees or more) for up to three years. Data was collected from an online sample panel in early September 2023."
The article's main headings provide the main points, which are:
- Gen Z is cautiously approaching generative AI use in the workplace
- Gen Z aspires to do meaningful work and will speak up
- Gen Z is hungry for mentorship and development
- Value-driven employee experience tops Gen Z's workplace wish list
Each heading expands further on each of those points, while not being too lengthy. So it's a good concise summary if you're looking for some insight into the younger working class and possibly what the future holds.
