Generation Z is joining the workforce, but some of these young workers don’t exactly have a lot of experience — and that can be a major problem for their employers. Inc. Magazine reports.
In a survey of frontline workers and managers by HR firm UKG, 83% of Gen Z workers reported feeling burned out. Frontline workers are those in positions that require them to be physically present at a specific location at a specific time.
Gen Z workers aren’t alone—75% of all frontline workers feel the same way. But Gen Z workers are significantly more stressed than that, and more than a third of them may quit as a result.
In addition to feeling burned out, Gen Z workers also have more negative interactions with people at work—colleagues, managers, or customers—than workers of other generations. It affects their mental health and 71% of them say it could make them quit, compared to 59% of all frontline workers.
Overall, 61% of Gen Z workers do not have a good “overall employee experience,” compared to 55% of all frontline workers.
So how can businesses get Gen Z workers more excited about their careers? Inc. Magazine there are some tips.
